Abedjou

Along the processional path which led to Seti I´s temple, there lies also the ruins of a temple built by Ramesses II. It was at the same time a way station for festival processions and a mortuary temple for him, though different in layout than the one of Seti. It was as lavishly decorated and housed shrines for the deities of Waset (Thebes) and Abedjou, as well as for the Ennead of Iunu (Heliopolis) and for Wepwawet, the jackal deity which was said to lead Royal Processions. On top of page is an image of a surviving relief, which I regrettably have mislaid the source. If anyone´s intimidated, just tell me and I will take it off at once! Below is seen what remains of the ruins today.
