A Mortuary Temple is an ancient Egyptian structure built to honor and facilitate the worship of a deceased pharaoh. These temples were often located near the pyramids and served as a place for rituals and offerings to ensure the pharaoh's safe passage to the afterlife. They were integral to the religious practices surrounding death and the afterlife in ancient Egypt. Typically, a mortuary temple would include various rooms for ceremonies, altars for offerings, and statues of the pharaoh. Notable examples include the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut and the Mortuary Temple of Ramses III. These temples reflect the architectural and artistic achievements of ancient Egyptian civilization.
