Abydos

 

 

 

 

Meandering through hall after corridor after hall, dazzled with these fantastic images

 

 

 

 

 

We may be looking at the embalming of a Pharaoh here, presided over by Horus, the falcon-headed god

 

 

This shows the Pharaoh as the greatest hunter

 

The backside of the necropolis, decorated, but much of it lost to time and possibly thieves

 

Below there is a pond of sorts, maybe similar to the sacred ponds of the great temples. I am wondering, with Abydos just 10 km from the Nile, if there hadn't been a canal

 

Climbing down, this is how it looks. Even here, some of the walls show decorations
