Abstract

Religion and politics always have been interconnected. Throughout the ages, the rulers used the religion to achieve some political goals. This started in the Pharaonic period, and was later used by the Ptolemies and the Roman Emperors to stabilize their rule. Actually, this method proved a success as the Ptolemaic kingdom lasted for nearly 300 years, and the Roman rule continued for another 600 years. Many methods were used to persuade the Egyptians such as: respecting the sacred animals, establishing temples for the Egyptian gods, the veneration of the kings and the Emperors.
