Hey Aalieyah,
I agree that the Egyptians were a very religious people. It as if the art was created for the gods and out of respect and worship for them, rather than creating them for personal enjoyment / everyday use (like a vase or pot with depictions of hunting on them, with symbolism of the Nile and life). I think that these people lived to worship and respect their gods, and believed it was necessary to show in their actions and creations.
