A Riley limerick:
My prefix is somewhere you’ve been
My suffix was worshipped back when
My middle you’ll find
Is deep in your mind
Together I show where you’ve been
What am I?

I think the answer is
Camera
My prefix is somewhere you’ve been
Came
CA is short for California, a common destination.
My suffix was worshipped back when
Ra - the ancient Egyptian sun god
My middle you’ll find
Is deep in your mind
Me
Together I show where you’ve been
A camera's photos can show you where you've been.

$\begingroup$ Think abbreviation. Not everyone has been there, but it is a common destination. $\endgroup$ Commented May 1, 2018 at 16:23
