Abydos King List

Abydos King List

The Abydos King List, also called the Abydos Table is a list of the names of seventy-six kings and pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, found on the walls of the Temple of Seti I at Abydos, Egypt.

Besides providing the order of the Old Kingdom rulers (albeit often obviously incorrectly), it is the sole source to date of the names of many of the rulers of the Seventh and Eighth Dynasties, so the list is valued highly for that reason.

This list does not include the names of many pharaohs, ruling during the period of time that it was intended to document—who were 'erased' from this revised history—such as Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, Smenkhkare, Tutankhamen, and Ay.
