A complex and fascinating belief-system, Egyptian religion had its true beginnings more than 5,000 years ago and in one form or another lasted for thousands of years. It inspired temples and tombs, burial practices and everyday rituals, and affected many aspects of daily life. Since Napoleons time, it has fascinated Western cultures. We will unravel key aspects of ancient Egyptian religion, from understanding a view of the cosmos to considering Moses as an Egyptian through to contributions to modern Christianity. Understanding the religious ideas and practices of ancient Egypt is no easy task, yet with proper guidance you will learn not only about the remote past, but might also acquire some tools to examine today's world.
