Throughout Egyptian history, large state temples were constructed in honour of the many gods. The priests who were in the service of the gods were responsible for performing the daily rituals, including dressing and adoring the cult images. Egyptian texts emphasise that it was only the priests who had access to the inner sanctuaries. However, at certain times, parts of the temples were accessible to petitioners, including the rekhyt-people. This lecture will examine the evidence for temple accessibility in ancient Egypt, including which areas were open to the public and when.


Dr Ken Griffin is the Cuator of the Egypt Centre, Swansea University. His association with the Egypt Centre first began in 2000 as a volunteer. Over the past two decades, he has been researching the collection, including publishing a number of the objects. Prior to his appointment as the Curator, he was a lecturer in Egyptology at Swansea University. He has participated in excavations in Egypt (Abydos, South Asasif necropolis, Valley of the Kings) and Sudan (Sai Island).
