As for Abydos is an archaeological city located in the far south of Egypt in the Balina district of Sohag Governorate. As the people of Sohag call it ‘the buried godmother’ as a metaphor for the abundance of antiquities, the entire city is based on a number of temples and museums, as it was a pilgrimage destination for ancient Egyptians.
The Temple of Abydos. Seti I Temple in Abydos was built by King Seti I of the 19th Dynasty, who died without completing the temple and was completed by his son, King Ramses II. It was customary for the king to start building the temple from the back to the front, as he started at the most important place, the Holy of Holies, where the idol statue was placed, so Seti started from the back to the front until he reached the first hall.
