(Egypt) Religion was very very important for the Egyptians. The Egyptians were as the Greeks polytheistic ( that the people didn't only believed in one god but several). The Egyptian gods number'd nearly 2000. The citizens also build large and big temples for their gods. also when the people died they were but into a pyramid ( you will find it in my Architecture) so a god should wake them up and make them an god!

 * Conclusion: in my opinion i think it was a very interesting learning about the religion about the ancient Greeks and also the Egyptians. i also didn't know that they were both polytheistic at the beginning when i saw the word the first time i didn't know what it was. But now ill use it a lot when we talk about people who have more than 1 religion. So I think it was very useful getting information about the religion.
