Religion In Ancient Egypt

The practice of religion and the worship of gods and goddesses had a significant role in everyday life in Ancient Egypt. Hapy is a mummified man with a baboon head. Hapy the god of silt deposited by the yearly Nile river flooding. The yearly flooding is called inundation. Silt is in the water from the Nile and on the banks. Hapy is prayed too from everyday Egyptians to have a good flood that year so silt goes all over the land. Egyptians need this silt because it helps crops grow so, when the Nile overflows and floods the silt spreads all over the land so it can help the crops grow. Hapy is a big part of a stable food suplie because, the silt is better for the soil so the crops can grow better. Religion is important to the Ancient Egyptians
because their religion is polytheism (which means believes in all gods) and Hapy was a god so their religion is to pray to him. So, Hapy was prayed to as a religion so they would get a good flood with silt for their crops so, religion was very important to the Ancient Egyptians. Hapy is also one of the Four Sons of Horus. The four Sons of Horus are featured on Canopic Jars and these jars were so important that they were protected by the female gods. Hapy was very important because, if Hapy was not a real god the Ancient Egyptians would have not nearly as much food because Hapy helps the soil so it is better for planting crops.
