ABSTRACT
Episodes did not need to progress in a rigid sequential order, so long as each individual episode was performed with precision (chapter 3). But what did it mean to perform each individual episode with precision? The intricacies of this were lost with the deaths of the last ancient Egyptian priests. However, scenes and texts provide many clues about the performance of different types of offering ritual. This chapter brings together observations about aspects of ritual performance explored throughout this book to provide brief discussions of the performance of the offering rituals depicted most frequently in the temples of Sety I and Ramesses II. The analysis of this group of monuments (see chapter 7) included approximately two thousand offering scenes.
