Q1: Who lived in the sanctuary?

[Answer]

The innermost part of the temple led to the sanctuary, the place where the gods were supposed to live.

It was a small dark room with no windows. All it contained were statues of the gods and perhaps the sacred barque on which the statues were carried in procession.

Only the pharaoh and high priests could enter here.

Outside was a sacred lake.
