So it's a real smorgasbord of encounters with the superhuman.
Yes, so exactly.
You have a world which is inherently full, inhabited with these entities.
So you can meet a god, chapter three of my prehistory book, how do you meet a god?
You can meet a god in a dream, as I said, which you can kind of imagine you see something you can't explain and that's labelled as a god.
You can go out into the marshes next to the river and meet a god there, special gods in the marshes, or in the desert.
You can meet a god in a temple,
And this is maybe what we expect with congregational religion.
But an ancient Egyptian temple is not like a church or a mosque or a synagogue.
It is a place where ritual specialists, the priests, lots of scare quotes.
do their work on a regular basis as part of a cult and by a cult has kind of certain associations now but Egyptology uses the word cult to mean regular service to a god giving of offerings prayers hymns so all of these gods inhabit
every aspect of the world, every aspect of your life, but not everyone can go into a temple, but you could worship a god in your home.
I think that would be across the social spectrum.
So who can go into a temple and who can't?
Well, this probably could do an episode on its own.
This is a specialist interest of mine.
Who could see ancient Egyptian statues?
Because you can go into the British Museum or go onto a site in Egypt and see them and touch them and...
Get up close with them.
You couldn't in ancient times because statues, certainly statues of gods, are so inherently divine.
