Abydos temple pillars
Today, Abydos is notable for the memorial temple of Seti I, which contains an inscription known as the Abydos King List, a chronological list showing cartouches of most dynastic pharaoh of Egypt from the first, Narmer/Menes, until Ramesses I, Seti's father. The actual Great Temple and the ancient town are largely buried under the modern buildings to the north of the Seti temple.
