E36.1

Limestone relief depicting a shaven-headed, bowing priest. Priests in Egypt did not preach and had no parishioners to instruct. A priest's duty was to serve the god who dwelt in the temple statue. To be pure, a priest had to make his ablutions twice daily and twice during the night. He was completely shaven, shorn and plucked. Priests acquired a great deal of power in Egyptian society through their managing the lands of the god and their revenues.
