Describe the main features of a typical Sun Temple?
The thing that really stood out with the sun temples was that they had no roof. Akhenaten changed the religion to worshipping theaten , and cos Aten was depicted as a SUN disc , the temples had no roof to let the sun light in. Other features inculde inscriptions to the aten like prayers and stuff on columns. I think they were loated at Karnak near thebes.
This demonstrated changes in the religion as traditionally the temples had roofs and were dedicated to other gods , this was a dramatic change in the style of the temples , no other Pharaoh had bulit a temple in this fashion before.
Very breif but i hope that gives some sort of idea - thats how i would have answerd the questions

Oh women were expected to be beatuiful and be obediant - the sort of traditional 1950's role only in the egyptian context. Also they expected to beable to bear children etc
