ANCIENT EGYPTIAN RELIGION


Here we will meet Egyptian gods and goddesses, will investigate the role of the cult  and magic in Egyptian society and in the life of it's separate members, will understand the causes  why the priesthood there was so mighty and autoritathive. We will see the astonishing Egyptian temples: from Theban sacred complex to Dendara and Edfu. Will watch in our imagination the magnificent ancient rituals and feasts, abandoned from a long time ago. Special attention is paid to the imaginations of the netherworld and afterlife, Ancient Egyptian funerary culture and ancestors worship, to the rich equipment buried with the mummies of deceased and to themselves. The multiple religious books of this civilisation are too not neglected.
