Encyclopedic overview
The start of the king list, showing Seti I and his son Ramesses II on the way to making an offering to Ptah-Seker-Osiris, on behalf of their 75 ancestors: the contents of the king list. Seti is wearing the Khepresh. Ramesses is depicted as a prince sporting the Sidelock of youth and holding censers. The Abydos King List, also known as the Abydos Table or the Abydos Tablet, is a list of the names of 76 kings of ancient Egypt, found on a wall of the Temple of Seti I at Abydos, Egypt. It consists of three rows of 38 cartouches (borders enclosing the name of a king) in each row. The upper two rows contain names of the kings, while the third row merely repeats Seti I's throne name and nomen.
For unknown reasons, the first sign of Djoser's cartouche was deliberately removed later on.
