Jubilee

Jubilee
   This heb-sed festival or jubilee was usually performed in a king’s 30th year and presumably consisted of rituals to rejuvenate him to continue his rule. It is possible that during prehistoric times the king may have been killed if he failed the ritual. Subsequent jubilees were performed at frequent intervals after year 30 until the death of the monarch.
