Pharaonic religion

Pharaonic religion was the ancient Egyptian belief system centered on gods, the divine anointing of pharaohs, and the afterlife. It involved rituals, temples, and offerings to honor gods like Ra and Osiris, ensuring harmony and ma’at (order). Pharaohs were seen as divine intermediaries between gods and people, responsible for maintaining cosmic balance. The religion emphasized life after death, with elaborate burial practices, mummification, and spells from texts like the Book of the Dead to guide souls safely to the afterlife. Overall, it shaped daily life, governance, and cultural identity in ancient Egypt.
