Ra - The Sun God |
At dawn {yes, dawn!} you would go into your private chapel and sit through a laving of limbs (that's bathing to you and me!) to imitate the Sun God, Ra who bathes each morning in the ocean of heaven. After you have your quiet time, you shall be anointed with oil, robed, and invested with royal insignia by the priests wearing the mask of Horus. Next, [ I know...there's more...I can't believe it either!] you will proceed to the temple where he officiated at a daily ceremony and then continued to the 'regular' daily tasks (you know, like running a country and what-not).
So is it the pharo who wears the mask of horus
