Clues

  • Art is the symbolic representation of an object(s) of worship or the representation of a story including the object(s) of worship. Often a particular set of symbols can become associated with a particular object, this is its iconography. (3, 3, 11)
  • Belief in more than one god. E.g. Ancient Egyptians; Greek; Roman; Hinduism. (10)
  • Belief that people are made of two parts; body and soul/mind. Soul/mind lives on after death, often taking an interesting in the living. E.g. Maya of Central America (16, 4)
  • Leaving remains out for the softer tissues to be eaten by the wildlife. The bones/hard tissue are then collected and buried. E.g. West Kennet Long Barrow (11)
  • Making offerings in worship, often food and drink or objects of religious significance. Animal and human sacrifices can sometimes take place. E.g. Lindow Man (19)
  • Rituals to mark a significant event in an individual's life e.g. birth, puberty, marriage. E.g. Mummification (5, 2, 7)
  • Rituals which take place in funerary ceremonies, including the treatment of the dead. E.g. Mummification (8, 6)
  • Sharing of food as a part of a ritual to bind people together. E.g. meal at the tomb during funerals in Ancient Egypt. As depicted at Nebamun's tomb. (6, 8)
  • Way in which people are brought nearer to god through their senses; involving all senses. E.g. Muu dancers at funeral. (7, 10)
  • Way to recognise religious and ritual sites; highlight importance of a play by focusing attention, make the visitor feel as though they are moving into the presence of a god. E.g. Sacred places on mountains/hills. (5, 2, 9)
