Ancient Egypt was a country rich in religious traditions. Its temples included chapels resembling an ear where people could whisper their prayers into the representations for the gods. Numerous small shrines scattered throughout the country allowed people to offer sacrifices and prayers to the gods. Egyptians were not like other cultures. They didn't isolate themselves from the major gods, as they aren't like other cultures.
Theology about the gods
Complex and varied theology of ancient Egypt's gods was. Egyptians believed that Atum, Khnum and Ptah were the creators of creation. They tried to explain it using metaphors. Even though they could not come up with a single idea of God, evidence points to a transcendent God.
The gods were often associated with a particular land or territory. Ra was the sun god, while Osiris was the god for the dead. The gods also ruled both the skies and the ground. The sun god was believed to be the ruler of both the living and dead.
The relationship between the king and the gods
Ancient Egypt had a complex relationship between the gods and the king. Osiris, the god of Osiris, became the dominant deity within many contexts in the first millennium BCE. Solar worship was also on the decline. This time saw a shift in the relationship between Amun, the god of the king, and Osiris.

A triad was the most frequent grouping of gods found in temples during the New Kingdom. Each triad had an elder god, and a youth god. These triads were often created for form and had names that indicated the title or status. Kawm Umbu temple has Haroeris ("elder Horus") with Tsenetnofret, Tsenetnofret ("perfect accomplice") and Pnebtawy, the young god (the lord between two lands).
