Dewa-dewi Mesir Kuno
Dewa-dewi Mesir Kuno adalah dewa dan dewi yang disembah pada masa Mesir Kuno. Menurut catatan sejarah, bangsa Mesir Kuno menyembah banyak Dewa (politeisme) dan belum menemukan paham Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa (ada yang menyamakan dengan paganisme). Menurut kepercayaan Mesir Kuno, para Dewa merupakan makhluk-makhluk yang lebih berkuasa daripada umat manusia dan mengatur aspek-aspek kehidupan umat manusia. Mereka memberkati manusia, melindungi manusia, menghukum manusia, dan mencabut ajal manusia. Dewa-Dewi dalam kepercayaan bangsa Mesir Kuno merupakan penguasa setiap bagian dan unsur alam. Para Dewa merupakan Tuhan tersendiri sesuai dengan kemahakuasaan yang dimilikinya. Para Dewa yang menentukan nasib setiap orang.
