If you're curious about how faith influenced the ancient Egyptians, you'll be fascinated to learn that it was literally the focal point of their lives. They believed that the afterlife was eternal and that they would spend their entire existence on earth preparing for it. This belief is reflected in the manner in which they built; not many of their homes remain, but their temples and tombs have survived to the present day. Many of the laborers who constructed the Egyptian megastructures also took the time to design and fit out their own tombs in readiness for judgment and the afterlife. They believed in a link between the tangible world and the realms of their gods and were buried with their belongings, like food, which they thought would go with them to the next life. Understanding the ancient Egyptian religion can teach us a lot about ourselves as humans. If you're interested in learning more about this fascinating topic, keep watching!
