Photographer's Note
The Opet Festival was an annual Ancient Egyptian Festival celebrated in Thebes (Luxor), especially in the New Kingdom and later periods, during the second month of the season of Akhet, the flooding of the Nile.
On November 25th 2021 the Avenue of Sphinxes was re-opened in a grand ceremony similar to the Opet Festival.
The ram-headed god was Khnum, representing Amun Ra, the falcon-headed - Horus

Hello Malgo,
The barques seem to be carefully built, probably copied fairly exactly from ancient paintings. The three photos from different angles are necessary to appreciate their design and the craftsmanship. The location in an ordinary street, near a souvenir shop, somehow takes the magic out of the view, but the photos are as well taken as was possible.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Malgo,Today we see something different from Luxor, these weren't there when I went, so the post is even more interesting. I did not know this celebration of ancient Egypt, 3 different perspectives of high quality this time too! Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hello Malgo,
Ancient Egypt was full of ritual and symbolism, no wonder we are fascinated by its history!
Your photograph clearly shows the size and the elaborate decorations of the barques.
As an artistic composition, I really like the close-up of the falcon-headed Horus. The details are superb.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Malgo,
The palm trees are giving a touch of nature to the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the Barque. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

imagino que essa barca seja uma cópia das embarcações de antigamente. lindos detalhes. imagino que essas encenações não sejam muito apreciadas pelos religiosos locais.

Hello Malgo,
These barques are really knew to me.
I even can't remember to have seen them in photos.
That would be a great barque to take your snorkeling trip with :)
Splendid presentations. WS2 has the most attractive composition, I think.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Malgo
These wooden boats look new and specially built for the festival and opening ceremony. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hello Malgo,
These are splendid replicas of the ceremonial boats. I like the detail of the statue in one of the WS photos and the frontal view in the other. Three fine photos!
