Naos (shrine)
A naos (from ', Greek for ''temple'') was the sanctuary, the innermost chamber, of a Greek temple, in Latin referred to as ''cella''. The word is nowadays used for ''temple'', a place mainly used for praying and sending messages to the gods in many ancient cultures.〔''Concise Oxford Dictionary'', Oxford University Press, 10th edition, p.947〕 In Egyptian hieroglyphs, two common versions exist of the character translated as "naos": the older one dating to the Old Kingdom era, and a common rectangular form from the New Kingdom and later.
== In Egyptology ==
The naos as a small shrine is known in its typically Egyptian form since the beginning of Ancient Egyptian history. It eventually came to be represented as an Egyptian hieroglyph.
Some of the oldest examples are from the labels of the early pharaohs. Pharaoh Narmer is shown on the Narmer Macehead seated in a naos.
A statue of a person holding a little naos, such as the statue of the Ramesside overseer of the treasury Panehsy, is called naophorous.〔Elizabeth Frood, John Baines, ''Biographical Texts from Ramessid Egypt'', Society of Biblical Literature, 2007, ISBN 1-58983-210-8, p.166〕 The earliest examples of such statues date to the 18th dynasty.〔Jacques Vandier, ''Manuel d'archéologie égyptienne'', A. et J. Picard 1952, p.68〕
