Mortuary Temple of Seti I, Pharaonic mortuary temple in Luxor Governorate, Egypt

The stone temple features seven sanctuaries, multiple chambers, and walls decorated with detailed carvings depicting Egyptian deities and rituals.

Construction began during the reign of Pharaoh Seti I around 1290 BCE and was completed by his son Ramesses II after his death.

The temple halls contain sacred inscriptions from the Book of the Dead and rituals for offerings to ensure the eternal life of the pharaoh.

Access to the temple requires tickets purchased at the main entrance, with guided tours providing explanations of the hieroglyphic inscriptions and religious scenes.

The temple walls preserve a complete list of 76 pharaohs, known as the Abydos King List, carved in chronological order from Menes to Seti I.
