| temple of Osiris at Kom El Sultan |
Kom El Sultan turned into the principal shrine of Osiris in Abydos, now called
Kom El Sultan by means of the
Egyptians. there had been many sites of worship dedicated to Osiris in
the Nile
valley and past,
but the god’s
foremost cultic temple changed
into placed in Abydos, the city devoted to him. most effective the ramparts of
the temple are seen today. a limestone portico erected with the aid of Ramsesii (r. 1290–1224 b.c.e.) is also obtrusive. the temple, referred to as the
Osireion in some records, dates to the third dynasty (2649–2575 b.c.e.) or
possibly in advance. this
is older than
the Osireion erected by using
Seti i (r. 1306–1290 b.c.e.).
