Results, why people worshiped?

People worshiped god for many different reasons, including Horus, Osisis, Isis, Amun, Anubis, Thoth, Ra, Bes, Sobek, and Nephthys to name a few of the most popular. The Ancient Egyptians worshipped these gods not only to gain their favor in life and the afterlife, but also as a way to explain everyday occurrences that the average person did not have the answer to at the time. This can be looked at from many different views. These gods would be separated into different genres in a way, there were gods that dealt with things such as afterlife and death, gods for the home and family life of people, gods for crops and plant growth, as well as many others for every reason imaginable. Later on in the site I will go into detail on said gods and discuss their appearance as well as what the contributed to not just religion for Ancient Egyptians but also how these gods built the world around them and showed people explanations on how the world worked. The main form of worship that was seen as the most important besides mummification and the afterlife was worship and offerings to gods of agriculture and fertility such as Osiris, Neper, and Hapi although Osiris was the most popular including a yearly offering to Osiris from the Pharoh for a year of fertile land and healthy crop growth. Another major god that was worshiped was Anubis. Anubis was the god of the afterlife, dead, and mummification. (VanOppendeRuter2020) (Wiedemann2017)

The Ancient Egyptians took death very personal; it was less of loosing a loved one and more helping that loved one move on in the afterlife. This is why such care was placed on the deceased and their bodies. Special priest worked on the dead, they would embalm the bodies, work on the bodies as well as wrap them, it is important to note the priests would also need to know a lot about human anatomy to be able to correctly preform these rituals without destroying to body to much, they would then do specific prayers for the person to help lead them into the afterlife. Bodies would be placed into their tombs or graves with personal belongings that were important to them as well as items to help their path to the afterlife. Mummification was most common in high-ranking officials such as priests, nobility as well as the rich. The process of mummification was done on pharaohs to help them be reborn as gods in the afterlife. While anyone could technically get mummified, the process was expensive and most common folk were not able to afford it. These common people would be placed in normal graves with some belonging to help their path to the afterlife.  (Hullinger2012)
