Egyptians believe in a range of religious and cultural beliefs. Historically, ancient Egyptians practiced polytheism and worshipped a diverse pantheon of gods and goddesses. They believed in the afterlife and the importance of preserving the body through mummification. The divine authority of the pharaoh was another central belief, as they were seen as the link between the gods and the people. Modern Egyptians, although predominantly Muslim, also hold a deep reverence for their ancient Egyptian heritage and often incorporate traditional practices and beliefs into their lives.
