Abstract

The Topic of Our Research Deals With This (The philosophy of Monotheism in Ancient Egypt "Worship of the Sun God" Which is One of the Most Important Issues Related to The Religious Belief of The Ancient Egyptians, Namely the Question of Whether This Belief is Based on Monotheism by Worshiping One God, or Polytheism Through the Worship of Multiple Gods, The First Possible Form of Monotheism, Which the Research Seeks to Verify, is That the Sun Formed a Pillar of Monotheism or Not Among the Ancient Egyptians. As the Belief of the Egyptians in Monotheism Seems to Us to Be Conceivable Among the Ancient Egyptians Even Before the Religious Revolution of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten), that Revolution that Rejected All Other Forms of Worship in Favor of the Worship of the God Aten. One of the Manifestations or Images of Sun Worship in Ancient Egypt, and Based on this Devotional Image, which Was Brought Back to Existence by the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten, this research aims to conduct the essence of this Worship, and Whether it Was in Fact Worship of the Sun or the Power Behind it, Which Symbolizes, According to Some Scholars of the Ancient Egyptian Religion That it is a Monotheistic Image of One God (God), and this Research Aims to Prove this Hypothesis. The Research Included the Introduction and Three Sections. In the First Section, We Dealt with the Development of Sun Worship in Ancient Egypt. As for the Second Section, We Dealt with the Attributes of the Sun God Compared to the Attributes of Other Deities. As for the Third Section, We Reviewed the Image of Monotheism During the Era of Pharaoh Akhenaten. The Research Also Included the Conclusion, in Which We Reviewed our Conclusions for the Research. With an Index of Margins and Sources that Were Used in It.
