In ancient Egypt, priests held significant power, both religiously and politically. They were responsible for performing rituals, maintaining the temples, and ensuring the favor of the gods, which was crucial for the prosperity of the state. Some high-ranking priests, such as the High Priest of Amun, wielded substantial influence, often rivaling that of the pharaoh. Their authority stemmed from their role as intermediaries between the divine and the people, allowing them to shape societal norms and practices.
