'''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.{{Gameref|MED2}}{{Gameref|MED2|The Professor's Lab|quote=Although viewed as Gods and Goddesses a Pharaoh's life was often a short and arduous affair.|author=''Lifestyles of the Pharaohs''}} 

The burial chambers in Consort tombs, such as the [[Kensington, the Tomb|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.{{Gameref|MED2|Kensington, the Tomb}}
