ANCIENT EGYPTIAN TEMPLES AND RITUAL

CLASS 3: THE TEMPLES OF OSIRIS AT ABDJU AND DAILY TEMPLE RITUAL

Seti I commissioned a large complex dedicated to the god Osiris at the city of Abdju (modern Abydos). The wall reliefs of the seven sanctuaries of the temple—a unique feature—contain depictions and texts relating to daily temple ritual. This class will explore the interactions of priests with the divine statues within temple sanctuaries.
