The Egyptians believed in many gods that had human emotions. They mummified the dead because they believed that they would need their body for the afterlife. They built  temples and pyramids for the Pharaohs and Queens.

Osiris  was the god of the dead.

The ankh was the symbol of life to the Egyptians.
