Similarities Between Egyptian And Greek Gods

The Egyptians and Greeks also share the resemblance in their gods. Both civilizations have the concept of polytheism in their religion, the belief and worship of more than one god. The Ancient Egyptians believed there was more to life than the one on earth. Death was complex; they believed the deceased had to carry many attributes and follow numerous steps before being reborn in the afterlife. This involved the meeting up of the deceased with Osiris, the Egyptian god of re-birth, in the afterlife[ ]. Furthermore, the aspects attributed to a human such as the physical body, the name, the spirit (Ka), the personality and immortality all require protection aspects to gain immortality. Similarly, the Greeks also had a very complex religious system.
