| Abstract | ||
| The bread is considered one of the basic elements of human life throughout the ages. Bread was the basis of food for the ancient Egyptians, and was a major ingredient in offerings made in tombs and temples. The ovens inside the temples played an important role and had their religious significance in terms of providing bread as an offering to the gods, giving bread to the priests and workers inside the temple, and a societal importance in providing food to workers of the royal tombs and filling the state’s needs of bread. This research discusses the bread ovens inside the temples of the New Kingdom through various points represented in their names, shapes, locations inside the temple, the quantity of bread that the oven produces per day, and the shape of the bread that depends on the shape of the oven during the New Kingdom. | ||
