4There is a misconception about the Ancient Egyptian Religion [AER] that is was Polytheism.It is clear that it was neither POLETHEISM nor MONOTHEISM.1]Monotheism,belief in the existence of one god, or in the oneness ofGod; as such, it is distinguished frompolytheism, the belief in the existence of many gods, and fromatheism, the belief that there is no god. Monotheism characterizes the traditions of Judaism,Christianity, andIslam, and elements of the belief are discernible in numerous other religions.2]Monotheism is the belief in the existence of one god or, stated in other terms, that God is one. As such it is distinguished from polytheism, the belief in the existence of a number of gods, and atheism, the denial of the belief in any god or gods at all. The God of monotheism is the one real god that is believed to exist or, in any case, that is acknowledged as such. His essence and character are believed to be unique and fundamentally different from all other beings that can be considered more or less comparablee.g., the gods of other religions. The religious termmonotheismis not identical with the philosophical termmonism. The latter refers to the view that the universe has itsoriginin one basic principle (e.g.,mind,matter) and that its structure is one unitary whole in accordance with this principlethat is, that there is only a single kind of reality, whereas for monotheism there are two basically different realities: God and the universe.3] God in monotheism is conceived of as the creator of the world and of humanity; he has not abandoned his creation but continues to lead it through his power and wisdom; hence, viewed in this aspect,historyis a manifestation of the divine will. God has created not only the natural world and the order existing therein but also the ethical order to which humanity ought to conform and, implicit in the ethical order, the social order. 4] Forexclusivemonotheism only one god exists; other gods either simply do not exist at all or, at most, are false gods or demonsi.e., beings that are acknowledged to exist but that cannot be compared in power or any other way with the one and only true God. This position is in the main that of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. While in theHebrew Bible(Old Testament) the other gods in most cases were still characterized as false gods, in later Judaism and in Christianity as it developed theologically and philosophically, the conception emerged of God as the one and only, and other gods were considered not to exist at all.[http://www.britannica.com/topic/monotheism]Theists believe that reality's ultimate principle is Godan omnipotent, omniscient, goodness that is the creative ground of everything other than itself. Monotheism is the view that there is only one such God.

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/monotheism/5] Monotheism (from the Greekmonos"only", andtheos"god") is a wordcoinedin comparatively modern times to designatebeliefin the onesupreme God, theCreatorandLordof the world, theeternalSpirit,All-powerful, All-wise, and All-good, theRewarderofgoodand thePunisherofevil, the Source of ourhappinessandperfection. It is opposed toPolytheism, which isbeliefin more gods than one, and toAtheism, which is disbelief in anydeitywhatsoever. In contrast withDeism, it is the recognition ofGod'spresence and activity in every part ofcreation. In contrast withPantheism, it isbeliefin aGodofconsciousfreedom, distinct from the physical world. BothDeismandPantheismarereligiousphilosophiesrather thanreligions.[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10499a.htm] But one thing is missing. In Monotheism God does no t Manifests in different gods. Even in Christianity the Divine Humanity or Human Nature assumed by God is neiher a God nor a god. Hence all three Monotheistic Religions believe that God does not MANIFESTS IN g -ODS [g-SMALL]With the addition of this condition AER was not Exclusive Monotheism Since God in AER did Manifests in different forms [Personified Forms],and each form was a god [g-small]On the contrary AER was neither Polytheism.Polytheism,the belief in many gods. Polytheism characterizes virtually all religions other than Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which share a common tradition of monotheism, the belief in one God.

Sometimes above the many gods a polytheistic religion will have a supreme creator and focus of devotion, as in certain phases of Hinduism (there is also the tendency to identify the many gods as so many aspects of the Supreme Being); sometimes the gods are considered as less important than some higher goal, state, or saviour, as in Buddhism; sometimes one god will prove more dominant than the others without attaining overall supremacy, as Zeus in Greek religion. Typically, polytheistic cultures include belief in many demonic and ghostly forces in addition to the gods, and some supernatural beings will be malevolent; even in monotheistic religions there can be belief in many demons, as in New Testament Christianity.http://www.britannica.com/topic/polytheismThis definition makes confusion since the belief in ONE God which Manifests in several gods cannot be Polytheism. So a new term may be used as POLY-MONOTHEISM.This religion was not even HENOTHEISM:=Henotheism(Greek henas theos "one god") is the belief in and worship of a single God while accepting the existence or possible existence of other DISTINCTgods or Gods that may also be served. It refers to a religious belief that the existence of many mutually distinct gods/Gods (polytheism) but worship one god/God. Such belief systems have been found throughout history and across the world's cultures. AER was not Henotheism since it believed in One God who Manifests in to multitude of indistinct gods. So a new term may be coined as Manifest-Henotheism.Now we come to see what were the Attributes and Qualities of God Of AER.GOD IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN RELIGION I n Ancient Egyptian Religion there is Only One God.This God has many Attributes and Qualities.They canbe divided into two basic types.Absolute AttributesRelative Attribtes.Each one may be divided into two kinds.Negative and Posative.Absolute Attributes:=Negative Absoluter Attributes:=1] UnityThis God is Only One, and there is no God beside this God.2]Dis Similarity:-There is nothing similar to This God.3]Infinity.This God is Infinite4]EternityThis God Is Eternal.5]LonelinessThis God is Alone.Positive Absolute Attributes:-1]Self Existing2]Spirit3]Hiddenness This God is hidden [ in Pre Manifestation Form].
