These pages are the result of a collaboration between

Nefeti Meritamen, Sekhmet Meritamen, Nesnut Hatshepsut, NebmaŽatre Thutmose and myself. Each of us have pulled our resources together in an effort to give virtual life to rituals from thousands of years back.

Please note;

The virtual coronation is not historically fully authentic. Sources are scarce and not very clear. Out of what weŽve got IŽve put together something that seems to be not too far out and which can give us at least some idea of how it was done originally.The pages were originally created for the former community of Ancientsites.
