Talk:Opet Festival

Untitled
I'm wondering if we could get some disambiguation page from Opet, the Turkish Oil Fuel Company. --Naisenu 17:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Confused Chrolonology
The section entitled "The Archaeology of Thebes..." contains these sentences: "The Karnak (Temple of Amun)[6] and Luxor Temples were the archaeological centrepiece of Thebes, being constructed on “the eastern bank of the Nile” (Escolano-Poveda, 2019) in 2055 BC by Ramesses III and between 1390-1352 BC by Amenhotep III respectively. Karnak was further expanded by Thutmose I early in the New Kingdom, measuring nearly two square miles." The Middle Kingdom date given does not correspond to Ramesses III, who is from the New Kingdom. Thutmose also precedes Amenhotep III. These sentences are a chronological mess. The temples in the ancient past would not have been seen as an archaeological centerpiece, so that phrase might look better with a verb in the present tense. Also, the location on the "eastern bank of the Nile" is easily verifiable. Is a source required? I propose an edit, but did not undertake it myself.

Pharaoh's role
In the section on the pharaoh's role is this statement: "The Pharaoh’s religious role was reinforced through the Opet festival, as it re-affirmed their role as “The first prophet of Amun-Re, king of the gods”, the holiest title in Egypt." I suggest this be edited, because the phrasing suggests that Pharaoah was also the First Prophet of Amun, but in almost all cases, her (or she) was not. It is true that the paper cited in this section has statements about oracular sessions during Opet which involved Pinedjem, who later went on to proclaim himself Pharaoh of Upper Egypt. But this was an atypical case, (and even then he seems to have relinquished his religious office to his sons), and I don't think it should be used to justify a much broader (and very misleading) claim about a person simultaneously holding both the offices of the monarch and the high priest.
