And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
This verse reminds me of the transfiguration of the Egyptian pharaoh. At his coronation ceremony he would become transfigured and merge with the royal "Ka" which also reminds me of the spirit descending on Jesus during his baptism in gMark. The transfiguration and baptism are essentially royal coronation ceremonies. The pharaoh would be baptized and transfigured during his coronation ceremonies.
