Egyptian Religion Egyptian religion was polytheistic, that is, they believed in various gods and goddesses, not in just one. Isis y Osiris
The deities had naturalistic attributes from animals or the sun; half human (anthropomorphic) appearance, half animal (zoomorphic). Egyptian religion included hundreds of deities. The culture lasted so long that many of these deities came and went or changed form. Ra Isis and Hathor Anubis Egyptian Gods
