Inhaltsangabe

Great temples of Ancient Egypt once presided along both banks of the Nile from Alexandria all the way to Nubia in the south. For the average Ancient Egyptian a temple represented the center for his devotion while others knew temples to be the interface between the worshipped and the worshippers. The ancient people viewed life as a constant battle between chaos and order, and the temples were indeed where this conflict would be resolved by the gods declaring power and control of Divine over Human. All religious life centered on temples from the pre-historic period through pharaonic times on into the Greco-Roman period and even overlapped for a time with early Christianity. The earliest temples were begun in 3100 BC, and the last Egyptian temple to close its doors was Isis’ Temple of Philae, which remained in service as late as 542 AD. This book will take readers on a journey through the most important temples of Ancient Egypt.
