In Ancient Egypt polytheism was very common, there were many Deities worshiped for different things and every God had a temple. Most Gods were included in an Egyptian myth. Mythology is the study of stories made up by the peoples of the first civilisations that are meant to explain how the world was created, why it was created and other reasons why things are as they are. Only four religions are unlike the Egyptian religion, these are called monotheistic, this means that they believe in only one God. These religions are Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Sikhism.
