They enjoyed great power and wealth in Egyptian society. Neglecting the needs of the gods, they believed, would invite problems.Funeral rites, teaching school, supervising the artists and works, and advising people on problems have been made by them.

In the morning, the high priest breaks the seal, lights a torch to walk god, said the prayer, incense burners, washing the statue put on clean clothes and jewelry and it offers places for food and drink with him.

Singers offer hymns of praise to God. At the end of the day, the priest out of the sanctuary, sweeping his footsteps as he goes, and seals the sacral region again.
