The Abydos list is a list of the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt , carved on the wall of the temple of Seti I in Abydos . It has 76 cartouches of ancient Egyptian kings, beginning with Menes and ending with Set I. It was found by Mariet . Unlike the previously found but worse preserved similar list from the temple of Ramses II , the son of Seti I is called the “new Abydos table” (la nouvelle table d'Abydos) .
The list does not include the names of the pharaohs of the I and II transitional periods , as well as the five kings of the XVIII dynasty: Hatshepsut , Akhenaten , Smenhkar , Tutankhamun and Eye heretics).
Cartouches are located in two horizontal rows. In the list, each pharaoh is named only by one name. The table first shows the name that appears on the Abydos list, and then the one by which this pharaoh is better known.
