On this site they talk about the procession of the sacred boat but then the author suggests that this festival lasted many days.

I think there are specific inscriptions that refer to this festival.
I can't remember the details
I have a vague memory of Tutankhamen having inscriptions referring to the Opet festival? I could be wrong .... |
I went on the website, I helped me a great deal. It had a vast amount of information  _________________
Above is my reason for the interest in Ancient Egypt. May not
be accurate but it sure is great |
