Abydos, one of the important ancient cities in ancient Egyptian history, traces its history back to the inception of Egypt.
This ancient city is located upstream of the Nile River, belonging to the ancient cities of Upper Egypt, and is also one of the important cradles of ancient Egyptian civilization.
In the local myths, it is said that Osiris's head was buried here, and there is also a story that after Osiris's death, his wife Isis buried him here.
No matter which version is told, Abydos is the oldest holy place for the rites and rituals of Osiris, and it is also the place where Pharaohs perform their death and resurrection ceremonies.
After death, Pharaoh Kings and nobles would first be transported to the Temple of Osiris in Abydos for a period of time, where traditional resurrection rites would be held for the deceased, in hopes of connecting this life and the afterlife, after which they would be transported back to their tomb for burial.
