The Abydos King List is an ancient Egyptian inscription found in the temple of Seti I at Abydos. It lists the names of 76 pharaohs from the earliest times of Egyptian history up to Seti I himself. This list serves as a valuable historical record, helping scholars understand the succession of rulers in ancient Egypt. The inscription is significant because it highlights the importance of royal lineage and legitimacy in ancient Egyptian culture. It also reflects the political and religious beliefs of the time, as the kings were often seen as divine figures. The list is a crucial resource for Egyptologists studying the history of the New Kingdom.
