os mais famosos templos egípcios!
DESCRIPTION
Os templos egípcios eram edifícios construídos para o culto oficial dos deuses e para celebrar os faraós do Egito Antigo, tanto em seu território como nas regiões sob seu domínio. Estes templos eram vistos como casas destes deuses ou reis para os quais haviam sido dedicados, e dentro destas residências os egípcios realizavam diversos rituais, que consistiam das funções centrais da religião egípcia: fazer oferendas aos deuses, reencenar suas interações mitológicas através de festivais, e afugentar as forças do caos. Os rituais eram tidos como necessários para que os deuses continuassem a sustentam a maat, a ordem divina do universo. Cuidar e abrigar estes deuses era uma obrigação dos faraós, que por este motivo dedicavam enormes quantias de seu tesouro para construir e manter estes templos. Conheça os mais famosos:TRANSCRIPT
