Also discussed are the various categories of priests, the organization of the priesthood, and its daily services and customs. Each chapter offers the reader essential and up-to-date information about temple complexes and the history of their archaeological exploration, in the context of the spiritual dimension and cultural legacy of ancient Egypt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miroslav Verner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9774165632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789774165634\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American University in Cairo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.80d","brand":"Miroslav Verner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991352541439,"sku":"9789774165634","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3e74709-f314-4b83-8aef-6ee3c69e69a2.jpg?v=1683309789","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/temple-of-the-world-miroslav-verner-9789774165634","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
