Ancient Egyptians did not worship statues per se

Outsiders viewed Egypt from an outsider perspective. Ancient Egyptians did not worship statues or idols per se. The Priests channeled the Divine spirits to Earth and into the receptacle (idol) and then took care of it like a person -- feeding and clothing it, washing it, incensing it, etc. For as long as the Priest did this, the Divine Spirit would remain in the receptacle, benefiting the City with its energy. If the Divine Spirit did not enter the receptacle, it would or could enter people and take over their bodies; the Priests did this to Pharaoh so he would be a god incarnate. In other cultures, people have to pray long distances in order to contact the Divine.
