 * What is important to society / people of the time.

By researching sekhmet I found out that in egypt there are different gods for different things eg. love, war, sun and after life. Each of these gods had the ability to do something special which is one of the reasons they were looked up to. These gods were worshiped by getting statues carved from igneous rocks, or even people going into the temple to worship and praise there god. These gods were very important to Ancient Egyptians because they believed that they rulled the land and looked afer everyone, this made everyone look after all creation.
