A Little History: The Civilopedia tells us that these temples were a big deal for ancient Egyptian rulers, built to ensure their spirits were cared for in the afterlife. They had shrines, chapels with false doors (pretty wild, right?), offering tables, and storerooms. Priests would maintain daily rites to keep the ruler's cult going. They were often attached to pyramids or burial chambers, with famous examples like the Temple of Hatshepsut. Even when tombs moved, these temples continued the tradition. Strategy Tip: This building is all about placement. Try to build it next to a Navigable River for that extra Happiness, and if you're planning on building Wonders nearby, you'll get a nice Culture bonus too. The base Gold is always useful, especially in the early game. Remember: The source text doesn't actually have a section specifically titled "Burial:", so this guide focuses on the Mortuary Temple, which is related to burial practices in the game.
