"Over the past six years, Bryan's online expeditions have documented 3,400-year-old rites at the temple that were conducted to appease the gods and give vent to some of the age-old animal impulses in the process. The highlights apparently involved getting drunk on barley beer, then "traveling through the marshes" (a euphemism for having sex), then passing out, then waking up the next morning for religious services.
Bryan was last at the temple site in January, and now she and her team have returned to continue their excavations of the Hall of Drunkenness, which served as party central for the annual festival during the reign of the pharaonic queen Hatshepsut. The dispatches from Luxor have just resumed, and the team is already hard at work conserving the hall's toppled columns."
