What are Egyptian's beliefs?

Answer 1

Ancient Egyptians believed in the Divinity of the King or Pharoah his power was absolute on earth because he was thought to be a god. Egyptians for most of their History were polytheistic having more than 720 known Gods in their Pantheon. The Most famous being Ra The Sun God and Amon Ra. Belief in Amon Ra was introduced into ancient Egypt or more correctly Kemet by The Pharoah Akhen-Aton Husband of Queen Nefertari and was the first time Monotheism or the belief in one God was introduced into their society. The word Egyptian is actually a greek word meaning black faced people. Contrary to popular modern mythos there were no European pharoahs in fact a blnd or blue eyed person in ancient Egypt would most likely have been a slave. Many depictions of ancient Egyptian heiroglyphs show the pharoahs and nobles with collections of heads of Europeans whom they defeated in battle. This is important because ancient nomadic peoples of the region Hyksos (Semitic ) and the Hittites were against the monotheism of Akhenaton and used the division it caused in the Kingdom to gain control at different periods it was Ramses The Second who although vilified in The Bible was Egypts savior against these "Rulers of other lands" who sought to control Egypt. Ramses crushed the invaders at the Battle of Kadesh which is still studied today it is said he rode into battle on a chariot with two lions he had raised from birthby his side.

Answer 2

Most Egyptians are Muslims, who believe in Islam, a monotheistic religion. They worship ALLAH (God in Arabic) and believe that his last and greatest messenger was the prophet Muhammad. Religious Muslims write (saaw) or (pbuh) when writing the name of the Prophet-- the English translation is "Peace Be Upon Him." There are several different sects of Muslims in Egypt, some more traditional in their beliefs, and some more modern. There are also a small number of Coptic Christians in Egypt, one of the oldest eastern rite churches in the Middle East. There used to be a small but vibrant Jewish community, but by all accounts, it has dwindled to fewer than ten members.
