Did you know that ancient Egyptians spent nearly half the year celebrating festivals? Around their temples, people would feast, dance, and even hold trials for the gods to give "verdicts". Temples weren't just sacred spaces for worship, instead they also functioned as courts, banks, hospitals, libraries and cultural centers all in one — almost like an ancient Egyptian city hub! Watch these animated murals and see the festivals from 3,000 years ago come back to life.
