Statue of the god Anubis in a tomb.
Ancient Egyptian religion was a system of polytheistic beliefs and rituals that formed a crucial part of ancient Egyptian culture.
According to the book Lifestyles of the Pharaohs, ancient Egyptian kings and queens, known as Pharaohs, were seen as Gods and Goddesses by their subjects.[1][1.1]
The burial chambers in Consort tombs, such as the tomb of Princess Kiya found in Abu Simbel, housed statues of Gods like Anubis, Horus, and Sekhmet. They were part of a mechanism that protected the sacrophagus of the buried person.[1.2]
