A mortuary temple is a temple built in ancient Egypt specifically for the rituals and offerings related to a deceased pharaoh or important individual. These temples were typically located near the burial site and served as a place where family members and priests could perform ceremonies and make offerings to honor the deceased. Mortuary temples often featured large open courtyards, rooms for storage and offerings, and walls decorated with carvings and paintings that depicted scenes of the deceased's life and their journey in the afterlife. These structures were essential for ensuring that the memory of the deceased was preserved and that they received the necessary provisions for their journey beyond death.
