► ABYDOS TEMPLE
Considered one of the most important archaeological sites of ancient Egypt, the holy city Abydos was the site of many ancient temples, including Umm El-Qa'ab, a royal necropolis where early pharaohs were buried. These tombs began to be seen as extremely significant funerals and in later times it became desirable to be buried in the area, leading to the growth of the importance of the city as a cult site.
Nowadays Abydos is remarkable for the Memorial Temple of Seti I, which contains an inscription of the nineteenth dynasty that the modern world is known as the Abydos King List. It is a chronological table with cartouches of most dynasty pharaohs from Egypt of opinions to the Ramesses I, Seti's father. The big temple and most of the old city are buried under the modern buildings north of the Seti temple. Many of the original structures and artefacts are considered irreparable and lost; Many may be destroyed by the new construction.
Abydos temple located about 2.5 hours by car north of Luxor, Abydos was one of the most important religious locations for ancient Egyptians. Just like modern Muslims, to complete a pilgrimage to Mecca, at least once in their lives, ancient Egyptians should visit Abydos, which was strongly associated with the entrance to the hereafter.
Although different temples were constructed, the largest and most significant and the Temple of Seti I. Seti I was the father of the great Ramesses II, who actually completed the construction of most temple after his father's death.
To power only 30 years after the revolution of Akhenaten's Kleetical Rule, known as the Amarna period, Seti I was busy recovering faith in the Pantheon of Pre-Amarna gods that Akhenaten had tried to destroy. As a result, the temple he has built contains small chapels dedicated to each of the big gods: Ptah, Re-Harakhte, Amun-Re, Osiris, Isis, Horus, and also one to Seti itself. Many of the temple complexes are no longer present, including the pylon and the first two courtyards, so visitors to enter the hypostyle hall via a doorway. Many of the wall noises are well preserved and the reliefs to the back of the temple, completed during the Government of Seti, are considered one of the most beautiful in every temple throughout Egypt. Because Abydos is harder to reach than many sites, it is not very heavily visited. Occasionally tour buses come from the beach resorts or with many cruise sanctions from the Red Sea, but if you leave your visit well, you can notice the temple complex for yourself.
