what were some features of ancient egyptian temples Cavetto cornices at the tops of walls were made to imitate rows of palm fronds placed atop archaic walls, and the batter of exterior walls, while partly meant to ensure stability, was also a holdover from archaic building methods and temple ground plans usually centered on an axis running on a slight incline from the sanctuary down to the temple entrance why were they built? For the official worship of the gods and in commemoration of the pharaohs what can you tell me about its structure? The most important part of the temple was the sanctuary, which typically contained a cult image, a statue of its god can you tell me more about the former part? A sanctuary, in its original meaning, is a sacred place, such as a shrine and by the use of such places as a haven, by extension the term has come to be used for any place of safety what is its role as a sacred place? In Europe, Christian churches were sometimes built on land considered to be a particularly holy spot, perhaps where a miracle or martyrdom was believed to have taken place or where a holy person was buried and therefore the church built there, was considered to have been sanctified (made holy) by what happened there

Egyptian temple [SEP] Daily rituals
The daily rituals in most temples included two sequences of offering rites: one to clean and dress the god for the day, and one to present it with a meal. The exact order of events in these rituals is uncertain and may have varied somewhat each time they were performed. In addition, the two sequences probably overlapped with each other. At sunrise, the officiating priest entered the sanctuary, carrying a candle to light the room. He opened the doors of the shrine and prostrated himself before the god's image, reciting hymns in its praise. He removed the god from the shrine, clothed it (replacing the clothes of the previous day), and anointed it with oil and paint.
