Abydos King List

Found on a wall of the Temple of Seti I. The start of the king list, showing Seti I (r. ca. 1290-1279 BC) and his son Ramesses II on the way to making an offering to Ptah-Seker-Osiris, on behalf of their 72 ancestors - the contents of the king list. Ramesses is depicted holding censers.

This list omits the names of many earlier pharaohs who were apparently considered illegitimate — such as Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, Smenkhkare, Tutankhamun, and Ay.
