Nilet
The Nilet was a major holiday during the reign of Cleopatra . He was 40 BC. And celebrated every month between the 20th and 25th day.
On the public holiday, a festival was celebrated to celebrate the ruler's femininity and fertility . After the festival was celebrated 17 times, it came to bloody excesses. As a result, the festival was forbidden by Cleopatra.
Scientists assume that only a few Egyptians knew about this festival after four decades. It is only mentioned on four incomplete stelae, the last clay tablet is dated to around 5 AD. In addition, there are no descriptions of the rituals that were carried out during the Nile, the corresponding passages have been deleted from the tablets.
