The temples of ancient Egypt include the largest and some of the
most impressive religious monuments the world has ever known.
Mansions of the gods, models of Egypt and of the universe, focal
points for worship, great treasure houses and islands of order in a
cosmic ocean of chaos - the temples were all these things and more.
Richard Wilkinson traces their development from the earliest times,
looking at every aspect of their construction, decoration,
symbolism and function. From the Delta to Nubia, all of Egypt's
surviving temples - ranging from the gargantuan temple of Amun at
Karnak, to minuscule shrines such as the oasis Oracle of Siwa,
where Alexander went to hear himself proclaimed god - are discussed
and illustrated here.
