Famous Ancient Egyptian Temples

The ancient Egyptian temples served as the eternal residences of the gods of ancient Egypt, who lived there for thousands of years. The temples were thought to be the horizon of each divine entity, or perhaps the place where the god first manifested himself or herself during the early stages of the creation process.

Historians say that the design of ancient Egyptian temples was based on the Egyptian account of the cosmos’s creation. Egyptians conducted many rituals and sacrifices to the gods inside the temples. The temples served as a place of worship for the ancient Egyptians. The pharaohs and the general public both made sacrifices to the gods there.

Ancient Egyptians also used the temples to record their history. They chronicled the histories of various kings and queens. More importantly, they documented the origins of their religious beliefs and myths. The most famous ancient Egyptian temples are in Luxor and Aswan, cities on the Nile River.
