Stage Summary of Act 5 :
Horus is now ready for the fifth and final stage of his initiation – unification and deification.

Het-hor actually means ‘house/shrine of Horus’
2- Stage goes dark for 1-2 seconds.
3- Lights back on, the ibis-headed Thoth moves towards center stage while both Horus and Het-hor are moving from the opposite sides of the stage towards center stage.
Thoth is holding the solar disc crown, the headdress for Horakhty [Horus in his fifth and final stage of the initiation process]

Het-hor and Horus enter the stage from opposite sides meeting in the middle to perform the Sacred Grove Dance.
