About Min Festival
The Min festival was an ancient Egyptian ceremony that was held to celebrate the continued rule of a pharaoh. It dates back to Predynastic Egypt and was still very popular during the 19th Dynasty reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II. The festival was connected with the worship of the king and was held in the last month of the summer. It was carried out by the king himself, followed by his wife, royal family, and the court. When the king entered the sanctuary of the deity Min, he brought offerings and burning incense. Then, the standing god was carried out of the temple on a shield carried by twenty-tw.
