Dear All,
Welcome to our weekly Devblog! Today's topic is temples introduction # 1 so let's begin!
As very sentient and highly religious beings, however, differently perceived when it comes to beliefs than in modern times, the ancient Egyptians showed their unconditional devotion by building impressive and sublime temples to revere and nourish the gods. The majestic design was supposed to encourage powerful and capricious gods to bring divine energy into the earth's plane and peoples' lives. Priests worked at the temples, conducting the daily rituals in honor of the deities and pharaohs to whom the temples were dedicated, as well as in hopes of gaining the favor of the gods and mainly to protect Egypt from the forces of unstoppable and destructive Chaos. Some of citizens served as part-time priests in their local temples and were rewarded for their service with a drink and share of the food (which was earlier offered to gods). They did not serve as spiritual advisers. There was also a group of priests mainly focused on astronomy and tasked with duties such as writing calendars with lucky and unlucky days and horoscopes which were very popular among Egyptians.
What were the different types of temples in ancient Egypt?
Let's start by saying that Ancient Egyptian temples fell into two principal types: 'cult temples' and 'funerary or mortuary temples'. The cult temples were houses of worship to a god or goddess; while mortuary temples were created as shrines to dead kings.
Today we'll show you a small preview of cult temples and in upcoming temples introduction # 2 we'll talk more about in-game temples in general.
Looking forward to your thoughts about today's introduction! Feel free to share them with us in the comments below or at Discord.
