Kemet (meaning the black land, named for the black soils left by the Nile floods) is the original name of Egypt. So the religion of Kemet is actually just ancient Egyptian theology including gods like Set and Isis. \n\nSanteria is sort of like Voodoo, a modern adaption of ancient African religions.

You can read a book called, The Pharoahs of Ancient Egypt, it is pretty informative and enjoyable to read and gives a good explanation of what we know and how we know it.  It is sort of set in a factual telling of the story of how we found the Rosetta Stone and went on to learn more and understand more about Ancient Egypt.\n\nBottom line is yes, they did worship their kings, or pharoahs.  They went on to worship the sun, sky, and on and on.  We know this because we can read their language.

Yes it does appear that Christians and Jews borrowed some of the Egyptians ideas, there are similarities between the 10 commandments and the Egyptian book of the dead, the story of Jesus and the story of Horus, and there is even a theory that has a strong point of argument that Moses was actually the Egyptian prince Tuthmosis or the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV.  Tuthmosis was supposedly a prince during the rule of the pharaoh Akhenanten.  This was Amenhotep IV who changed his name to Akhenanten and who tried to change the Egyptian culture by declaring that from then on there was only one true god, Aten, and that Amen-Ra and the other gods should no longer be worshiped.  Apparently this idea was not embraced by the majority of Egypt.

The creator of all things was either Re, Amun, Ptah, Khnum or Aten, depending on which version of the myth was currently in use. The heavens were represented by Hathor, Bat, and Horus. Osiris was an earth god as was Ptah. The annual flooding of the Nile was Hapi. Storms, evil and confusion were Seth. His counterpart was Ma'at, who represented balance, justice and truth. The moon was Thoth and Khonsu. Re, the sun god, took on many forms, and transcended most of the borders that contained the other gods. The actual shape of the sun, the disk (or, aten), was deified into another god, Aten. \n\n \n\nAs stated earlier, certain gods were worshipped in different areas. Local cities or villages, known as nomes, often had unique gods that were known only to that region. On occasion, these gods attained country -wide recognition and became the myths and legends that were passed on from century to century. Below is a listing of the main gods and their primary place of worship. \n\nAmaunet - A female counterpart to Amon and one of the primordial gods of the Hermopolitian Ogdoad (group of eight gods). She was also worshipped at Thebes along with Amon and Mut. \n\nAmon - Usually associated with the wind, or things hidden, and was also of the Hermopolitian Ogdoad. At Thebes he became Amon-Re, king of the gods. He was part of the Theban Triad, along with Mut and Khonsu. \n\nAntaios - He was originally a double god, "the two falcons", that was later joined to create one, probably that of Horus. \n\nAnuket - Worshipped at Elephantine, she was associated with the gazelle. \n\nApis - Seen as the bull with a solar disk between its horns, Apis was associated with Osiris and Ptah. \n\nAton - Also known as Aten, he was worshipped at Tell 'Amarna. \n\nAtum - A primordial god that was represented in the form of a human and a serpent. He was the supreme god in the Heliopolitan Ennead (group of nine gods) and formed with Re to create Re-Atum. \n\nHathor - The goddess of love, dance and alcohol was depicted as a cow. At Thebes she was also the goddess of the dead. She was worshipped at Dendera as the consort of Horus and Edfu, and was associated with Isis at Byblos. \n\nHorus - The earliest royal god was the shape of a falcon, with the sun and moon as his eyes. The sky-god was the ruler of the day. The many forms of Horus are; Re-Harakhti, Harsiesis, Haroeris, Harendotes, Khenti-irti, Khentekhtay (the crocodile-god), and Harmakhis, which is Horus on the horizons, in which the Sphinx of Giza is considered to be his aspect. \n\nIsis - The mother of Horus and sister and consort of Osiris was worshipped at Philae. Associated with Astarte, Hathor, Nut and Sothis, she was later worshipped over the entire Roman Empire. \n\nKhnum - Resembling a human with a rams head, he was worshipped in Hypselis, Esna, Antinoe and Elephantine. \n\nKhonsu - the moon god was the son of Amon and Mut. The main temple at Karnak is dedicated to him. \n\nMin - God of fertility coalesced with Amon and Horus. Min was mainly worshipped at Coptos and Akhmim. \n\nMut - Worshipped at Thebes, she was a consort of Amon and part of the Theban Triad (group of three gods). \n\nNut - Mother of the sun, moon and heavenly bodies. \n\nOsiris - He is regarded as the dead king that watches over the nether world and is rejuvenated in his son Horus. As the symbol of eternal life he was worshipped at Abydos and Philae. \n\nPtah - Worshipped in Memphis, he coalesced with Sokaris and Osiris. \n\nRe - He was the sun god of Heliopolis. From the fifth Dynasty onwards he becomes a national god and is combined with the supreme deity Amon. \n\nSerapis - He was mainly worshipped in Alexandria and was later worshipped by the Greeks as Zeus. He was never fully accepted by the Egyptians in the Ptolemaic period. \n\nSekhmet - She was part of the Memphite Triad with Ptah and Nefertem. She was the mistress of war and sickness. \n\nSeth - The son of Geb and Nut in the Heliopolitan Ennead was in the for

Osiris played a very important role in ancient Egypt and this carried over into the rituals and beliefs of Egyptians much later, as well. It was because of the legend of Osiris that Egyptians believed they had the right to be transformed and to live in the afterlife

Of course, each religion on this world will have its own special occasion or celebration. Ancient Egyptians do have several festivals, especially for the Pharoahs, as they worshipped Pharoahs as God.\n\nThey do sacrifice a virgin for Nile River because they believed that the River need to be worshipped, if not, the God/Goddess will dried out the river.\n\nSpecial occasions normally happen during the death of Pharoah until the new Pharoah succeeded the throne.

Well, except that the Egyptian religion is much closer to Hinduism in that beyond the "Trinity" there is a Brahman or higher aspect from which these three are all actually one whereas the Christian Trinity states clearly that there is one God in three Persons. Hinduism and Egyptian religion share this higher concept and reject the idea that the names of the Gods in the Trinity are individual Persons..individual Gods. They are merely reflections of the higher Divine. \n\nI apologize that the name of the higher Egyptian Brahman type eludes me. Let me explain it from Hinduism (since I know the names). I have friends that actually practice the Egyptian religion and have studied it (and I've studied a great deal myself..including reading hieroglyphs).\n\nIn Hinduism there is one God. This one God is called Brahman. It can be thought of as both Nirguna Brahman (without form, name, and attribute) and as Saguna Brahman (with form, name and attribute). Everything in the universe is manifested from Brahman. Brahman is infinite...limitless...without any limits. Brahman is beyond form, name, and attributes and yet it also become form, name, and attributes when it manifested the universe. The problem of course is that it is very difficult to worship the infinite unknown without form, name, and attribute (the word Brahman literally just means "supreme" or "highest"). Hinduism then has the Trimurti or Trinity. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Brahma represents Creation, Vishnue represents Preservation, and Shive represents Dissolution. But Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are NOT seperate from Brahman. They are Brahman! When Hindus worship whatever name and/or form, they are actually worshipping Brahman. The Egyptian religion is the same.\n\nSo................\n\nWhen worshipping the Christian Trinity there is God the Father, Jesus the son, and the Holy Spirit who are all individually unique and to be worshipped....yet all three are God...they are all said to be God. One God in Three Persons. When worshipping Jesus, Jesus is the bridge to God. If you worshipped the Holy Spirit, you are still worshipping God. If you just worship God the Father, you are still just worshiping God. \n\nThere really isn't much of a difference. It often appears on the outside that CHristians seem to be worshipping three Gods, but through theological teachings you realized that there is God who has resided in Heaven (the Father), this God manifests in human form as Jesus, and also interacts with people now through the Holy Spirit. While each are individually identifiable because of their qualities (forms), they are all actually God. Hindus and Egyptians would agree. Hindus go so far as to have avatars or incarnations of God all the time (even today) that they worship and Egyptians often did, too...this was their pharoah.

1.  Horemakhet ("Horus at the Horizon", meaning the sun) was a symbol of resurrection, linked to the setting sun, which was reborn every morning. He was also a manifestation of the god Re-Horakhte (see this god) and connected to the very old gods Kheper and Atum. He first appeared during the New Kingdom. He was identified with the Great Sphinx at Giza, where he also was venerated in a temple of his own (possibly the only of its kind in Egypt). His very "own" shape was a sphinx (as seen in the picture above). His was very popular during the dynasties 18-19 and called upon as "the good father".\n\n\n2.  Anubis (in Greek) was an old god who took care of the cemeteries and from c. dynasty five considered to be the son of the solar god Re.\nLater he was connected to the vast Osiris cult and became his son with the goddess Nephtys.\n(See the Myth of Osiris). Depicted as a jackal or a man with a jackal's head, he was originally a god from Abydos in Upper Egypt. He guided the deceased to the next life via the court of Osiris in the Underworld. He was the one who took care of embalmings and was the subject of the mortuary prayers in funerals. His fame was constantly on top during all periods of the long Egyptian history. \n\n\n3.  Osiris (in Greek) was king of the Underworld and originally a god of agriculture and nature. His origin is disputed and he first appeared during dynasty five. In Heliopolis he was said to be son of Re and he represented the dead king. Minor gods were taken into his vast cult and many legends were told about him. The common Myth of Osiris is about his death (murdered by his brother Set) and resurrection. He was the chief judge in the court at the threshold to the next life, where all the dead citizens were trying to come through to Paradise. He always wore a mummy-dress and was brother to Isis, Hor (Horus the elder), Set and Nephthys. His parents were Geb and Nut.\n\n\n4.  Aah (like "awe"), was an old moon god in charge of the moon-year (12x30 days). Besides "moon" his name meant "collar", "to embrace" and "defender".\nHis duties were shadowy and he was seen as a moon crescent often with sun disk upon it (two pictures left). He accompanied mainly Thot and Khons, but also others. Rarely he was upon the head of a sitting Osiris with whom he was known in texts as Osiris-Aah. He could be seen as Thoth-Aah with a crescent upon a pedestal standing in a boat (picture above). He took part in "The Book of the Dead" where he was quoted in a prayer presenting himself by saying: "I am the moon-god Aah, the dweller among the gods". His most famous roll in Egyptian mythology was in a tale where he gambled with Thoth and made him help the pair Nut and Geb to raise a family. \n\n\n5.  Nehebkau was a serpent god who participated in the creation of the world when he swam around the solar bark of Re in the watery chaos.\nAll Egyptians (dead and alive) were protected by him, especially from sickness through snake bites. Thus ordinary people used him in magic spells and had his festival in the fifth month, just when the cultivating of the soil had begun. His looks were of a snake with legs (picture right) sometimes with wings and two heads, or a man with a snake's head and Atef-crown (left). His name meant "He Who Unites the Kas" and he put together the double (Ka) from the dead with those of animals, plants and even stones to a multi-natural form. He had no official cult but was mentioned in "The Book of the Dead" and could be seen holding containers, making food offerings to the deceased. From the very start he was connected to Re.
