About the Antechamber to Western Stairway

The winding stairway to the west of the Offering Table Hall was used in a New Year ritual where the God ‘went forth by the western stairway wearing his great crown, with his Pasadjat (Ennead of nine gods) behind him, in order to look at the sun’s disk and to unite with his Ba’a spirit on Wapat Ranapat – Opening of the Year.’
