First on the agenda is Temple Abydos, erected during the reign of Pharaoh Seti I (1318-1304 BC) and completed by his son Ramses II (1304-1237 BC). This structure serves as an artistic revival of Old Kingdom forms and was part of Seti’s attempt to legitimize the Ramessid dynasty after losses under Akhenaten.

Lastly, Nectanebo I commissioned a Temple in the XXX Dynasty, but other additions were made throughout the Ptolemaic and Roman eras.
