उत्तर
The Egyptians worshiped many gods and goddesses connected with nature. Ra, the sun god, and Osiris, the god of the dead, were among the most important gods.
The pharaohs, the rulers of Egypt, were also worshiped as gods. Each god had his own temple and priest. Every city, town, and village had its own favourite god. Certain animals and birds such as the jackal, crocodile, bull, and hawk were also worshiped.
The Egyptians believed in life after death. So they preserved the body of the dead. A dead body was embalmed with spices and wrapped in fine linen. Such a preserved body is known as a mummy. Food, wine, clothes, furniture, jewellery, and weapons were put into the tombs. The pyramids were the tombs of the pharaohs.
