Is this true?

[edit]

"The ancient festival probably was instituted to replace a ritual of murdering a pharaoh who had reached an age or condition when judged unable to continue to rule."

Hasn't Frazer been mostly debunked? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.184.21.149 (talk) 23:45, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was coming here to say much the same thing. I doubt this is the sort of thing that can ever be completely decisively proven, but "probably" sounds far far far too strong. Furius (talk) 12:19, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So this Festival was never linked to a specific time of years?

[edit]

I'm curious, cause 30 years of a Pharaoh's reign could mean the literal 30th anniversary, but it could also mean like the New Year of Year 30 or 31 or something.--JaredMithrandir (talk) 22:09, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A bull’s tail, not a wolf’s tail.

[edit]

I thought it was an established fact that the tail worn by the pharaoh as part of royal regalia is a bull’s tail. This is the first I’ve heard that it’s somehow related to the wolf god. Is this true? 84.251.173.233 (talk) 12:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
