What reading level is Growth of Religious And Moral Ideas in Egypt volume 3 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the earliest times every town had a temple ("house of the god") of the local god. The temple was served by priests. Associated with the local god were usually a mother-goddess and a son. The order of divine service was about the same everywhere. The priests began with acts of purification, purifying themselves as well as the statues of the gods. Then offerings were made, which were followed by a proces- sion of the gods. Music and dancing accompanied the various ceremonies, and the singing o...f hymns was a common feature.
The Idea of Mediation in Egypt 61 Offerings consisted chiefly of animals and of veg- etable material. On solemn occasions the eating of a specimen of the sacred animal at stated intervals took place, such as the bull at Memphis and the ram at Thebes. In early times the animals most fre- quently sacrificed were the gazelle, the antelope, and the wild goat. And the burnt offering of animals continued down to the fifth century before Christ. Burning of incense was commoner in early than in later times.
