editSTOP!!! As it stands now (July 2017) this a great page in terms of accuracy, referencing and lack of bias. It's the best Ancient Egypt page I've read on Wikipedia, and I've read most of them. Please don't screw it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.168.148.250 (talk) 09:01, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
- 194.168.148.250: I wrote nearly all of the current version of this article, and I'm happy to hear that you think of it so highly. But I have learned a great deal about ancient Egyptian religion since I stopped working on this article, and trust me, there is a lot to improve. For the past several years I've been working on improving sub-articles on the same topic (my favorite being ancient Egyptian deities). I do intend to come back to this one someday, when I feel knowledgeable enough about all of the subtopics to treat them all accurately, and rest assured that when I rework it I will do so carefully. No other Wikipedians seem interested enough to work much on ancient Egyptian religion topics, so I don't think you'll need to worry that this article will change anytime soon.

I find it laughable the amount of Bullshit in this article
editMaybe it's from the sources but you couldn't be more wrong about so many things. So animals weren't considered sentient beings by the AEs? They were just objects. Like for Christian's. Allanana79 (talk) 16:12, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
- Allanana79: If you have any reliable sources that contradict what this article says, please cite them and explain what exactly what you think should be changed. Otherwise, your comment is pointless. A. Parrot (talk) 23:55, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
Uhh yeah. Look at their 41 Ideals of Ma At. That should be a clue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allanana79 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
- Allanana79: I assume that you mean the forty-two declarations of innocence connected with the weighing of the heart against Maat, but that doesn't clarify much. What are you arguing that the article should say? A. Parrot (talk) 01:38, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

editDoes Anubis or Osiris judge souls? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:4019:9050:8453:447F:13FC:C1B8 (talk) 02:48, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- 2604:2D80:4019:9050:8453:447F:13FC:C1B8: Osiris, as ruler of the afterlife, judges the soul. In the familiar "weighing of the heart" scene, Anubis oversees the scales that weigh the heart, but it is Osiris who presides over the judgment. A. Parrot (talk) 05:59, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

The difference between ancient Egyptian religion and Hinduism
editLet's study the difference between ancient Egyptian religion and Hinduism 196.224.27.224 (talk) 18:26, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
The ancient Egyptian religion was a polytheistic belief under the worship of the main god
editThe direction of worship of the ancient Egyptians has basically remained unchanged. It can be inferred that the ancient Egyptian religion was a polytheistic belief under the worship of the main god. Ancient Egyptians respected north, so they faced north. In the painting, even when turning sideways, the eyes and shoulders are facing the north to express worship of the northern god. The so-called saying that painting does not understand perspective ignores the pious beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. 黎显慧 (talk) 22:30, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
