There are many gods and goddesses to be found in the beliefs of ancient Egypt. The basic belief of most Egyptians was that in the beginning there was only water. Then, just as happened after the Nile floods every year, the first mound of earth rose out of the waters of chaos. For some families most important thing in their lives were what they called the household Demigods: Thoueris the hippopotamus, and the little frog Hetak, who helped at childbirth; the seven Hathors who protected children; Renenvet, the cobra goddess of the harvest; and, most of all ugly dwarf Bes, who brought good luck to everyone. People painted images of these gods on their walls or wore them as good luck charms. They believed that everyone had several parts. The ka; spiritual double, created at birth and released from the body at death. The ba; soul, and the akh; supernatural power. As long as the body was preserved, the ka and ba would live. That is why they carefully mummified their dead and laid them in tombs where offerings of food could be made, which would nourish the ka. Once they were in the tomb it was believed that the akh began its journey to the hall of judgment. They had a saying; “He who reaches the other world without wrongdoing shall exist there like a god.” There were several festivals during the year where people could get closer to their god. Sometimes a statue of the god would be paraded around the temple walls carried in a closed shrine on a golden boat. Some of Ancient Egypt’s most remarkable achievements were in architecture and engineering, especially in designing plus building the great pyramids. In Egypt there are more than 80 pyramids which experts believe are the tombs built by pharaohs, as the final resting place for their body. The finest sculptors, masons, engineers, and countless laborers spent years building the tombs. They were not slaves but farmers who believed that if they help their king get to heaven, he would look after them in the next world. They produced objects of superb workmanship in stone, copper, gold, and wood. Jewelry was among the most popular things. The paintings inside the tombs were decorated by teams of craftsmen. Those paintings were believed to be partly magic.
