Egyptian Gods and Their Cult Centers |

|
The Egyptian tourist industry is based on the legacy of 5000 years of cultural development and monumental building by Egyptians. Today we enjoy the splendors of Egypt because of the rediscovery of its wonders in the 1800's and because of the well organised and efficient tourist industry that the modern Egyptian have built. When Napoleon's expedition of 160 scientists returned from Egypt to publish the Description de l'Egypte (1809), the Gods of Egypt were reborn and the remnants of their cult temples and ritual centres were discovered.
Egyptology became a hobby and and then a science in the 1800's and 1900's, and each year's excavations and publications bring more knowledge of how the religion of the Ancient Egyptians was integrated into their daily lives. Egypt once depended on others to discover its past, but no more. Today Egyptians all along the Nile are actively engaged is discovery and preservation of the magnificant legacy of the past. The descendants of the builders of the pyramids are constantly contributing to the body of knowledge that is known as Egyptology. This site and its companion sites Egypt Cult Centers and Egypt Creation Myths, bring you the fruits of decades of work by Egyptologists of all nationalities to present the Gods of Egypt and their Cult Centers.
