15. The planets.


Egyptians knew the existence of Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter. They had names for them such as Sebequ,a god associated with Set , (Mercury), “god of the morning” (Venus), “bull of the sky” (Saturn), “Horus the red” or “Horus of the horizon” (Mars), and “Horus who limits the Two Lands” (Jupiter).

Explorers:
16. Religion.

Ancient Egyptians believed in more than 2,000 deities.

Egyptians worshipped different Gods so that life could be kept in balance. Each God had different “responsibilities”. The list of deities includes hawk-headed Sun God Ra, Goddess of moisture Tefnut, Anubis the god of embalming and the dead, and many more.

The Ancient Egyptians had questions about the afterlife, what happens when you die, and if gods existed. So they invented a religion that they strongly believed in and followed through in their beliefs and worshiped their gods, just like we do today. If they wouldn't have created these religions we would have different beliefs today.

Alot of people may not know this but the adoption of the cross as the pre eminent symbol of christianity owes alot to Egyptian religious practice in the late antiquity period when the founders of the faith lived. Observe that all of those egyptian gods holding an object in the left hand.That object is called an ankh The ankh was the symbol of divinity in ancient Egypt. That christ died on a cross and his divine nature and awe being widely known, and also the notion of a single supreme almighty being being popular since the times of the (heretic!) pharaoh Akhenaten ,proved to be a major factor in the adoption of xtianity amongst egyptians in the roman empire in the early years. The egyptians were the first amongst the many nations in the roman empire to adopt xtianity en masse, and its connection to the symbolism represented by the ankh and cross has not escaped the attention of curious scholars.
