Final answer:

New Kingdom Egyptian cult temples did have a specific path of movement through the buildings.

Step-by-step explanation:

False.

The statement is not accurate. New Kingdom Egyptian cult temples did have a specific path of movement through the buildings. One example is the Temple of Amun-Re and the Hypostyle Hall at Karnak, which had two axes: one that went north/south and the other that extended east/west. The southern axis of the temple continued towards the temple of Luxor and was connected by an avenue of ram-headed sphinxes.
