| Amenemheb |
"Amen is in festival": At the festival of Opet, Amen would travel from his shrine at the great temple of Karnak in a joyous procession south to the Temple of Luxor and celebrate with his consort Mut and son Khonsu. The ancestors, royal, noble and otherwise would share in the festivitieswhen Amen crossed the river Nile to visit Western Thebes during the Beautiful Festival of the Valley. Your name, Amenemheb, commemorates such wondrous events as these when citizens might catch a glimpse of the god amidst the festivities. |
