    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.

    Everyone here knows that what will make this the best that it can be is having input from all who share our interest. So let's light the candles at both ends *g* and put our heads together and get those ideas flowing.

    Please don't sit back and watch the parade when you know you want to be twirling a battan. We need everything right now, dancers, musicians, priests, criminals, revelers...well, you get my drift. Pharoah...where are you? Kissa...I need to hear from you especially. Hilarity...how can we collaborate.

    So tell your friends and bring your families and let the games begin!
