· Dorota Bojkowska: The pib naah = “sweat bath” can be real (used by rulers for rituals) or metaphorical (the inner sanctuary of a temple was referred to as a pib naah, even if there was no actual oven or water present):
o AT-E1168-lecture19.t0:30:27-30:54: The sanctuary of the temple is called pib naah – literally a pit oven, [a] sweat bath. So the gods, they're perpetually in a sweat bath – the sanctuary is a place where they get the heat, the warmth. And it's not a functional sweat bath – there's no place for real fire. It was meant to function in any way like a real sweat bath, like a real sweat lodge.
o AT-E1168-lecture21.t0:34:21-34:41: And then the sanctuaries of temples are called pib naah – they’re called sweat baths. [It’s the] same idea, because the gods can be rejuvenated, and be supported, sustained by [being] symbolically placed inside those sweat lodges, inside those clay oven pits, literally.
