The Outer Court of a temple was the place where commoners could visit in order to seek out advice from priests or leave offerings to their deities. Many times here were also small shrines of other deities than the temple´s main one, which could be visited by anyone visitor. It was also here that people waited for the Sacred Barks to come out of the temples on festival days.

At the Outer Court of Per Ankh, let´s focus on the basic principles of the ancient Egyptian religion, like the founding concepts of Maat and Kingship, the philosophy behind the Afterlife and such things.

* { font-family: Tempus Sans ITC !important; font-size: 13px !important; color: #c0c0c0 !important; } The first beginnings of the ancient Egyptian religion loses itself far back in time, probably long before anyone came up with the idea of counting the passing of years to pile them up into something which could be called history. This is a thread for taking a look at the over 3000 years of that belief system.
