The statue of the god or goddess.
The altar
Why here?
The altar is always outside.• More room for worshippers outside.• The burning of the sacrifice creates smoke and
heat. Not good indoors.• The smoke needs to travel up to the gods.• Blood and mess inside the temple would offend
the god by spoiling his ‘house’.• Death is a pollution so would offend the god if
done in their ‘house’.• The god can watch the acrifice through the front
door.
