A day in the life of an ancient Egyptian priest

Watch this video to discover what tasks ancient Egyptian priests completed in the temple.

Ancient Egyptian priests were the only people (besides the king) who could enter the sacred inner areas of the temples that acted as homes for the gods. This short animation shows what a day in a priest’s life looked like.

The Ancient Egypt Rediscovered gallery at the National Museum of Scotland presents the remarkable culture and achievements of the ancient Egyptians, highlighting individual stories to give a sense of their values and personal lives.
