The ancient Egyptians performed rituals focussed on making offerings of food, drink, clothing and ointment, to a deity.[1] Offerings commonly took place in temples everyday by groups of priests acting on behalf of the Pharaoh.[2] Offerings were provided to the gods to gain their favor. These offerings would feature incense to be burned. It was mandatory for the offering of food or beverage to be consumed by the offeror during the offering.
