THE PRIEST

For further information click on here: My studies in The House of Life made me a wise person. I know the rites which the Gods like, and I can talk to them in the name of the Pharaoh. Every morning I wake up and feed the God so that he can’t complain about the humans and keep the order of the Universe. I own lands and livestock around the temple, I have a great fortune and many people work for me in the temple. I take part of the minority of the Privileged class which holds the political power in Egypt.
