Through an examination of artefacts and inscriptions, the text explores a variety of issues. For example, who was allowed to enter the temples, and what rituals were performed therein? Who served as priests? How were they organized and trained, and what did they do? What was the Egyptians' attitude toward death, and what happened at funerals? How did the living and dead communicate? In what ways could people communicate with the gods? What impact did religion have on the economy and longevity of the society? This book demystifies Egyptian religion, exploring what it meant to the people and society. The text is richly illustrated with images of rituals and religious objects. 517 3 $aReligion & Ritual in Ancient Egypt 606 $aRites and ceremonies$zEgypt 607 $aEgypt$xReligion 607 $aEgypt$xAntiquities 615 0$aRites and ceremonies 676 $a299/.31 686 $aSOC003000$2bisacsh 700 $aTeeter$b Emily$0456023 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827767103321 996 $aReligion and ritual in ancient Egypt$94112208 997 $aUNINA
