Abydos King List

The King List at Abydos

Temple of Seti I. Abydos.


Seti I inscribed on this wall the names of the pharaohs who had preceeded him, omitting Akhenaton and his immediate successors (Smenkhkare, Tutankhamun, and Ay). The King List includes the names of several 7th and 8th dynasty kings not attested elsewhere, for example "Menkare" in the lower left corner.
