The concept of the temple in the ancient Egyptian faith was derived from the ancient Egyptian philosophical theological thought; Believing that the gods live like human society governed by laws and customs; And they organize their lives by forming a family and living in their own dwellings in the sky, and from here doubts began to appear in the minds of the ancient Egyptian since his association with the gods, which is how the gods could respond to him while they were far from him and inhabiting the sky? These doubts prompted the ancient Egyptian to propose solutions to bring him closer to the gods? He found that his construction of temples to the gods throughout the country and abroad are possible solutions for offering sacrifices, holding rituals and religious holidays, and closely offering obedience and loyalty to the gods.
