The Influence Of Religion In Ancient Egyptian Culture

The culture of the Egyptians was largely dependent on their beliefs. The Egyptian lifestyle consisted of work until death. With the various gods and goddesses who ruled Egyptian mythology, the daily life of people of Ancient Egypt was very involved with all the different deities. It was acceptable for people in this time to worship more than one god or goddess, though a city would normally claim a patron god. Throughout Egypt, temples were built for the many deities. The Ancient Egyptian faith was a belief that reflected a religion that involved frequent rites, rituals and practices. Most people of the lower class in Ancient Egypt would make their living off of the land. Many people of the time were invested in agricultural methods of living.
All the money that peasants made would go towards their death. They would save up for their burials so as to receive the best possible passageway through to the afterlife.
