hi, i wanted to ask that question for some time, why do it has ritual suicide ? i gived a look and i finded nothing, do they are info some where i missed ?
I don’t know the first thing about the Kush, or its religion, but going by the popular associations: if Wepwawet is a High God, then there was a connected Egyptian festival somehow associated with this deity confirming that the elderly ruler still had it in him to rule.

That said, these are mostly ‘I don’t know anything but I have unconnected associations and google fu’ responses.
