High Priest of the Deep Temple

The myth

Egyptian temples were the homes of the gods, and their priests tended the daily rites. The greatest of all was Karnak, at Thebes, dedicated to Amun. According to World History Encyclopedia, by the end of the New Kingdom more than eighty thousand priests worked at Karnak, and the high priests were wealthier than the pharaoh himself; the growth of that power is seen as one of the factors in the New Kingdom's decline. The High Priest of the Deep Temple, who serves gods whose names he has forgotten, is a MYTHENOR figure.
