each new ruler forced ancient egyptians to convert to a new religion.
the religious capital stayed the same throughout egyptian history.
foreigners never influenced the egyptian religion.
sometimes new gods were added to the list of egyptian gods.

Explanation:

• Ancient Egyptian religion was polytheistic and evolved over time. New gods could be added. For example, during different periods, local deities might gain more prominence or new deities could be introduced due to various factors like cultural exchanges (even if limited compared to some other cultures).
• Not every new ruler forced a new religion conversion. There was religious continuity.
• The religious capital changed. For instance, different cities held religious significance at different times.
• Foreigners did influence Egyptian religion. For example, during periods of interaction with other cultures (like the influence of some Near - Eastern deities in certain aspects).

Answer:

Sometimes new gods were added to the list of Egyptian gods.
