Sethos I at Abydos
/Sethos I is the name sometimes used for the Egyptian pharaoh Seti I. He ruled from 1290-1279 BC and was the father of Ramesses II. There are 4 volumes about work done in 1925-1926 at Abydos when the painted reliefs were copied by Amice M. Calverley with the assistance of Myrtle F. Broome and edited Alan H. Gardiner. The publication was financed by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. with as many colored plates as possible. They were originally published beginning in the 1930s and made available on Internet Archive in 2022 by The Electronic Publications Initiative of the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. Perusing these depictions of the reliefs on a big screen monitor is a treat…certainly better than a crowded museum!
