    A couple of quick questions about historical accuracy: Do any of you take issue with bringing the temple of Khonsu into the story? I am all for representing the Theban triad, but construction of the standing temple did not start until the reign of Ramesses III. One thing going for us is the tendency for temples to be built on the sites of earlier religious structures. Ramesses II did build a barque shrine at Luxor for when Khonsu was visiting from Karnak, and the Bentresh Stela (if we are assuming it to be true) would indicate a strong cult of Khonsu at Karnak during his reign. Just wanted to check in with you all before I imagine up a whole new infrastructure.

    Also, is anyone opposed to bringing to life the sanatorium that may have been found at "Temple C"? That is where the Bentresh Stela was discovered by Champollion, and it would be nice to focus on the healing aspect of Khonsu. Merenchepri, since you are a healer, that could be something we could operate together. I'd love to have your input!
