Ancient Egyptian festival of the New Year. In the celebration of Opet, statues of Amon and Mut and their son Khons were carried down the Nile on barges in a ritual journey from their shrines at Karnak to the temple of Luxor. There the statues remained about 24 days, a festival time for Luxor. The images were returned to Karnak by the same route in a second public appearance that closed the festival
