Many of the eqyptian glofied the kings known as pharaohs and believe that they that they were spirtual. In the pre-dynastic and early dynastic the earliest Egyptian narrative reliefs and paintings were created. The first artist that was recognized was  name Ihotep.  Statuary types were expressing the nature of the pharaonic kingship. the back bone of Egypt was and still is the Nile River. During the middle ages, detailed knowledge the Romans posed about Egyptians and their gods were largely forgotten.  The world viewed Egyptians as a distinct from other ancient worlds. Their neighbors such as Mediterranean Mesopotamian and Persia viewed them as gods from another moon. Egyptians believed that primeval waters called Nun, existed in only darkness.
