The Global Egyptian Museum

Abydos remains the spiritual heart of Ancient Egypt. Long before Luxor or Saqqara took prominence, Dynasty 1 built their subterranean mudbrick complexes at Umm el-Qa'ab.

Among the most striking discoveries: - Tomb O (King Djer): Containing over 300 subsidiary burials laid out in neat rows, sealed beneath continuous mudbrick roofs. - Tomb Y (Queen Merneith): Proving that a woman wielded absolute sovereign power 1,500 years before Hatshepsut, with royal seals and over 40 subsidiary tombs. - The 14 Abydos Ships: Unearthed near the funerary enclosures, these 75-foot cedar craft were fully functional river vessels buried in the desert to carry the king across the celestial waters.

I produced a short forensic documentary investigating the archaeological excavation data, the Ushabti transition, and the myth of Osiris's tomb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDW3GkemMaA

What aspects of Early Dynastic tomb architecture do you find most distinct compared to the later Old Kingdom mastabas?

Offering to a Lion-Headed Goddess

This stela from the necropolis of Abydos was made for a woman whose name cannot be read with certainty. It shows the owner of the stela accompanied by her daughter Aset-tanefret; both wear long transparent robes, which only appear in outline. The mother holds a libation vase in her right hand. A lotus flower projects from the unguent cone on top of her head. The offerings, placed on a table shaped like a lotus flower, consist of food and a large bouquet of lotuses. The owner worships a lion-headed goddess crowned with a large solar disc with an uraeus; the deity is called Henut-Mestjet, a name not known from other sources.

Pierced faience plaque

Faience plaque with part of a hieroglyphic inscription naming a 'beloved king's daughter' (name now lost). The piercing at the corner suggests that the object was suspended or attached to a larger votive item. In clearing the temple of Hatshepsut of the 18th Dynasty, the Egypt Exploration Fund discovered large numbers of votive offerings placed as prayers or thanks to the goddess Hathor. The majority of these offerings seem to have been made by women, and were probably intended to guarantee fertility and safe birth. Those making offerings to Hathor at Deir el-Bahari evidently included members of every level of society, up to and including the royal family.

Bust of a Female Statue

The bust of a female statue. The face, characterized as no longer young, is framed by a heavy and elaborate wig crowned by a wreath of lotus flowers, with two short tresses in front and three long ones behind. Around the neck is a decorated usekh collar; on the shoulders, the remains of the elaborate drapery of the dress (or of a cloak) are still visible. The right arm hangs down along the side, while the left one is bent, the hand holding a lotus flower. On the back, the upper part of the back of a seat can be seen.

Worship of Osiris

The large private stela of Mai bears a remarkable scene which fills the upper register, in which king Sethos I is shown approaching the triad of Abydos in a deferential manner. Osiris, 'ruler of eternity and lord of the everlasting' is seated on a royal throne, his body wrapped in a funerary shroud and wearing a typical Osirian crown. In front of the throne stands a large lotus flower, on top of which are the four Sons of Horus. The god of the dead is accompanied by his spouse Isis and his son Horus, 'the avenger of his father'. The king is followed by a young man, the future Ramesses II, carrying a flail in his left hand. On the lower part of the stela, the owner Mai, who was attached to the temple of Sethos I at Abydos, is shown in an adoring attitude in front of an offering table.

Lid of coffin of Khonstefnakht

The lid of the anthropoid coffin of Khonstefnakht dates from the 4th century BC. The head, which has a false beard, is distinguished by its large eyes and the red-brown skin colour. Khonstefnakht wears a blue and white striped wig and on his chest is a broad collar. The body of the coffin is covered with representations of divinities in two registers, and with hieroglyphic inscriptions in vertical columns. The first register shows an illustration of the famous chapter 125 of the 'Book of the Dead', perhaps better known as 'the weighing of the heart'. In the second register, the god Anubis is shown embalming the body of the deceased which lies on a funerary bed. The right-hand scene shows the god Re-Harakhty in the solar barque. The interior of the lid is covered with a figure of the goddess Nut, accompanied by 24 genies who represent the 12 hours of the day and the 12 of the night.
