Ancient Egypt and the world was known to be created with the basic principles of life, pyramids, temples, tombs, nature and society by Egyptian gods from the perspective of ancient Egyptians. A lot of myths were written about it at that time that is still told today.
Egyptian religion includes beliefs like Egyptian mythology, science, medicine, psychiatry, magic, spiritualism and herbology. They also believe in life after death. Religion is very important in the Egyptian culture because life on earth was known to only be part of the journey of a human being. To continue living in the world of the dead after you die, you need to live a life worthy of continuance.

Pyramids were built for the religion of the ancient Egypt civilization. The ancient Egyptians were one of the first people to believe in life after death so the first three pyramids were built at Giza, and many smaller pyramids were constructed around the Nile Valley representing the primordial mound. The primordial mound was the creator of the world according to ancient Egyptians.
