Ancient Egyptian Temples

Temples built under the ancient Egyptian religion in this atlas's Religious and Sacred Buildings subcategory, the smallest of this subcategory's named tradition groups, kept separate rather than folded into Other and Multi-Faith Sites because ancient Egyptian temple architecture is the report's own explicitly proposed group, a real and coherent tradition in its own right rather than an unplanned small group this lane invented. Belongs here: any building this atlas records as a temple of the ancient Egyptian religion, from the pharaonic period through the Ptolemaic and Roman periods when Egyptian temple cult continued. Does not belong here: a building of any later or unrelated tradition, gathered under this subcategory's other groups.
