    The Beautiful Festival of Opet was celebrated annually in Thebes. Occurring at the time of Inundation in the season of Akhet, which would mean August-September in modern days. It was celebrated each year and lasted from 11 to 27 days. During the festival divine kingship was reborn and the the king's position as pharaoh reaffirmed. On a cosmic level, the festival "secured the regeneration of the Creator, Amun of Luxor, the rebirth of Amun-Re of Karnak, and the recreation of the cosmos."

    Ayyyy all, it's Khnum, Khnemu and Ayyyyyyyyy, other wise known as "it-netjer-Kheperkheperu-re" at Horizon of Aten and Khnum and-- Khnum, at Ta-Meri, Golden Horus and the Arcadia.

    When I was new to Role Play here at KMT, High Priestess of Amun, nilaja Amenhotep, helped with all my social and historical posts for the Opet Festival. It's something I'll never forget. She walked me right through it, was tolerant of my ignorance, and gently guided me. So, I'm with the Jackal.

    (Taking pause, I kneel beside our High Priestess, appreciating her wholly)

    More history. From Opet on, Hapshetsut, Toman, Neima, Tryphaena, Reputneb, Akhenhotep (then of Old Kingdom), Zeina, Senenmut, Miss Kismet Nefertari, Nebmaatre, Ayesha, TASSOS and of course our fearless leader AER also helped me become more active. When things slowed down to a crawl, I was hoping KMT would survive. I'm glad that Oset is still here. That's a good sign. And although a lot of my posts now seem to be missing, and a few of the boards I posted in have vanished, I'm optimistic. Aren't you? These are new days. Fresh days. I like the new people here & am happy to return with the old timers. Toman my man-- First Rath beer and side of hoppers is on me.

    Now, I first met Mirjam on the main Egypt boards, reading her posts in Egyptian Poetry and Texts. She and I seem to share this love of the written word. She too has been pivotal in keeping me coming back to Ancient Worlds. I have visited her vast web site many times and never tire of it.

    So, I'm not sure what I'm doing in Aten, since there was a tussle at the start and it's been kinda quiet since. But maybe now, we can really make something happen. You've got my, my and-- my support! I'm in as all of me. "All of meeeee, why not take alll of meeeeee---"

    Your Triple Treat, Khnum

    No fish, we're priests
