Answer: True

Explanation: The ancient Egyptians, like many other peoples of the ancient times, were polytheists. In particular, the Egyptians believed and worshiped about 2000 different gods, among whom there was also a hierarchy, as well as among humans. Thus, certain gods of the highest and higher rank were foreseen for Pharaoh and the clergy, while ordinary people also worshiped certain gods peculiar to them.

The multitude of different gods tells us that all events, from ordinary, everyday, through periodic and even mysterious and supernatural, were attributed to the gods. Thus, the periodic outflow of the Nile and the creation of fertile soil was a gift from the gods, as well as unforeseen floods were punishment from the gods. The good and bad years in terms of wealth and abundance versus poverty were also an act of the gods, as well as many of the mysteries of nature, inexplicable on scientific principles to humanity back then, everything was an act of the gods.
