These gods were worshiped in temples. The Egyptians would prey and give offering to their gods. They gave offerings because the gods were not always viewed as benevolent.
These people believed that every person has a shadow, a soul, a life force and a name.
The heart, rather than the brain, was considered the seat of thoughts and emotions.
