Answer 1

The two ancient Egyptian achievements that were most directly the result of their religious beliefs are:

1. **Construction of the pyramids** - The pyramids were built as monumental tombs for pharaohs, reflecting the Egyptians' beliefs in the afterlife and the divine status of their rulers.

2. **Preserving the bodies of the dead** - Mummification and other practices related to preserving the dead were carried out to ensure a successful journey to the afterlife, which was central to Egyptian religious beliefs.

So, the correct answers are **construction of the pyramids** and **preserving the bodies of the dead**.
