The pharaoh will pray for the flood of the Nile. If the Nile not flood many Egyptians and animals (there is a lot of god look like animals in the Egypt religion) will die then the jackal(Jackal represent the god who control deaf) will come and eat their meat. So the jackal is the god who control deaf. They also believe in the under world. When the pharaoh is dead they will turn the pharaoh in to a mummy. They will take out all of the organ out except the heart. The organ will be but it in to three little jar. They believe that it can protect the pharaoh to the under world. There is the place that all of the gods live. The Anubis will use a Balance to measure the pharaoh s heart with a feather from the truth of god. If the heart is feather then the heart the pharaoh can have eternal life and the Egyptians will get happiness. (you can know the job of the god and what are they look like. At this website)
