has to offer. The Temple of Abydos is one of the many breathtakingly impressive

Seti was the father of the Great Rameses II, who finished the temple’s building following Seti’s death. This tomb was dedicated not just to Seti but the Gods Ptah, Amun, and Osiris as well. Much of the temple is still in existence today, and you can look around its huge structures and see the hieroglyphics that line its walls. Half a mile from the Temple of Seti is the Temple of Osiris. Because the Seti Temple is so large, the Temple of Osiris has come to form part of its grounds. This is another extremely integral part of the Ancient city, home as it was to much of the cult worship of Osiris associated with Abydos through the ages. The Temple of Osiris is imaginatively decorated, featuring wall paintings that date back thousands of years A fleet of 14 mud-brick boat graves was discovered at Abydos. These date to the Old Kingdom, and as such are the earliest boat-burials discovered in Upper

Egypt

. One grave has been completely excavated, and it included a wooden boat made of local tamarisk, lashed together and covered with white plaster and painted dark yellow. Also identified at Abydos are donkey burials, evidence of the importance of these animals to pre dynastic cultures.
