Egypt: Religious Belief in Ancient Egypt
"In the place where magic chords are sounded by the truncated Memnon, and ancient hundred-gated Thebes lies in ruins, men worship the glittering golden image of the long-tailed ape. In one part cats are worshipped, in another a river fish, in another whole townships venerate a dog; none adore Diana, but it is an impious outrage to crunch leeks and onions with the teeth. What a holy race to have such divinities springing up in their gardens!" (en.wikisource.org) Juvenal's famous satire may be wonderfully embellished but there is no denying religion in ancient Egypt was (and sometimes still is) greatly misunderstood. As in all early communities, Egyptian religious belief sprang from the world around them, developing and transforming over the centuries.
