Ancient Egyptian thought had a distinct role from other peoples of ancient civilizations. Since the Stone Age, Egypt has been characterized by meditation and tracing, an attempt to understand everything that exists in its environment, and an attempt to find an explanation or justification for certain cosmic events and phenomena. It was difficult to recognize the extent of his experience and senses at the beginning of his step on the path of civilization, and such things prompted the Egyptian to reflect in his environment, and his sense of sense of the existence of the power of metaphysical capacity beyond his ability, can control the occurrence of various phenomena.

    Masri hoped for the arrival of flood and drought, and observed the lightning, thunder and rain, and follow the emergence of plants from the earth and its growth and fruit, he realized through all this and other certainly full of the presence of this force and directed in the environment and the universe, which could not be understood by his mind.

     This is why it began to think again about what this force is, how it is conceived, and whether it is useful (it brings flood and rain, and grows the planting), or a harmful evil mother (it occurs drought, lightning and thunder) One, a sense of desire for knowledge and meditation, and another fear and caution.

    Thus, the fertile imagination of the Egyptian man began to crystallize. He came to know what was going on around him, unflattering and unfulfilled with the secrets of nature, and his determination to seek to reveal all these secrets and secrets in his mind and his mastery and his patience in observing events and phenomena.

    Al-Masri began to monitor all the phenomena around him as an essential step to complete any research based on the scientific foundations we know now. Prehistoric generations inherited this overwhelming desire for knowledge and to respond to the aspirations of the human mind to answer the puzzling questions that have long urged his imagination to monitor, meditate, .

    The Egyptian faith in the presence of this hidden force in nature that began to create a means of communication and communication with this force, was that the value of some phenomena and objects that have capabilities and characteristics beyond the perception; near to the sky and the sun and the moon and stars, which are cosmic phenomena that carry the good; Itself is closer to other phenomena that carry fears and damage to it (such as thunder and lightning), in the hope of paying this harm.

     He also saw good in some animals and birds, especially cows, rabbits, and ostriches, while he saw evil in others (such as lion, jackal, falcon, serpent and crocodile). He also showed admiration and respect for some of them (eg hawks and eagles) Far in the sky). From this point of view, the idea of ​​sanctification began, and this was a first step to the foundation of the ancient Egyptian beliefs in historical times.

   Masri began to make sacrifices from the offerings to the sacred images of living phenomena or objects, and soon the owner of these advances perform some movements and dances, which was the nucleus of the first of what was then known rituals and rituals of worship.

   Before we go on to talk about the beliefs of ancient Egyptians, we would like to ask an important question about:

  The cause of ancient Egyptian worship of animals, birds, reptiles, trees and other assets ??,

 And whether he has worshiped them for themselves, or on the grounds that they represent hidden powers that he could not realize with his limited prospects in the first stages of his life ??.

    The phenomena indicate that Masri did not worship these assets for themselves, but on the fact that the hidden forces that he recognizes are represented in them.

  In other words, the assets that Al-Masri worked for are the symbols of the land of these hidden powers that do not live with him on earth. The proof that Masri did not worship these assets is that he slaughtered the cow and killed the crocodile and serpent, even though they were symbols of idolatry throughout the ages.

    When Egyptian knew the use of pots made of pottery and ornaments, he began to portray some of his doctrinal views on these tools, and this is primitive photography in some symbols and signs, which were difficult to understand some, and continued some of them in different historical ages.

    Some of these tools were used to engrave drawings and decorations on the walls of some caves inhabited by humans prior to its descent into the valley, which bore many of the ideas of this man, like other peoples of the ancient world in their primitive stone ages.

   This was a remarkable development. The Egyptian man believed in the existence of a second life in the Baath after death. His faith was an amazing step in his thinking in this early period of history. Large, played a prominent role in building the civilization of this people who was closely associated with his religious beliefs.

 This established doctrine has the most important effect in preserving all that we have come from this civilization. The interest of the ancient Egyptian man through the historical ages in his Akkarian life motivated him to try to supply his grave with everything.

 His record of engravings and scenes, and the consecration of the furniture, was a great archive that preserved the history of the oldest and greatest civilizations on the face of the earth.

    Religion and religious thought are the center of gravity in the ancient Egyptian civilization. Without Masri's belief that he would live temporarily and die for a temporary period, then he would resurrect eternal eternal life. Without this faith, the ancient Egyptian would have left all these creations of pyramids, temples, arts, literature and sciences. Creations in which every effort was made, and in which I work every thought in order that his second eternal life be complete and undiminished.

   And because they have coexisted with the Egyptian man for thousands of years, and subjected to some of the changes that passed through his society, political, religious, economic or military.
