Talk:Abydos, Egypt

message: * Anyone object to this article being rewritten – it is a bit of a mess, and rather confusing, especially as this is one of the most important places in Ancient Egypt mythology. The rewrite will be at Abydos, Egypt/temp Markh 10:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 26-Aug-2006: The current article, "Abydos, Egypt" has been expanded greatly, surpassing the article 'Abydos, Egypt/temp' which is only a stub.  -Wikid77 09:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

message: 26-Aug-2006:  The following issues relate to Wiki formatting rules, which are still debated:
* Lower-cased Headers:  Although Wiki headers are wikified to lower-case after the first word, note that "Great Temple" is a proper noun, so "Temple" has been re-upcased in the header.  I feel that headers should have capital words, as in standard grammar and punctuation, because wikified as lower-case seems way spastic, with more problems having to guess which words are the proper nouns that will be capitalized.  -Wikid77 09:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

message: What the heck is that? I've cross-referenced it and can't find a thing. Is it the same as the "Tower of Osiris"? Or is it relating to a myth? --Laveaux 19:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sacred Head of Osiris 

message: Is there already an article for this?  Because if so, it should be linked to here, if not, we need something about it, because it is a documented notable place for its glyphs of the helicoper, hovercraft, spaceship, and jet. Queerbubbles (talk) 23:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Temple of Osiris (helicopters and modern things) 

message: I was linked here from this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lastavatar/3274546324/in/pool-archaeologyinaction and I thought it was awesome (hoping the link works).  Is there any information available about the archaeology in the area?  Information on that would be an interesting addition.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.104.207 (talk) 03:40, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

;The "mysterious" hieroglyphs in Temple of Seti I
Some of the hieroglyphs carved over an arch on the site have been interpreted in esoteric and "ufological" circles as depicting modern technology.
Often described as a helicopter, a battle tank or submarine, and a fighter plane or even a U.F.O. But this is partly based on widely distributed retouched images that removed key details from the carvings. When examining the original hieroglyphs the provocative images are commonly explained as being the result of erosion, and later adjustments, or re-writing over the original inscriptions that left parts of the older text visible creating the illusion of modern-looking machines. Pharaoh's Helicopter? "Helicopter Hieroglyph" Explained!
It looks like it should be under Temple of Seti instead of its own section, but note that none of the sources actually mention this as a location.
Actually, one of the sources mentions it as coming from the 'Temple of Osiris' instead. Whilst looking at those I noticed that they were both self-published, plus the section probably doesn't belong in this article, so I've taken it out. It could of course have a place if it was discussed in some reliable sources. See also Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (history).

thread_title:  Removal of section 

message: The section 'Tombs' is accompanied by a photo of an Egyptian relief; the caption states that the Pharaoh is Seti and the prince is Ramesses (II). However the summary for the photo in Wikipedia Commons states that the Pharaoh in the relief is Ramesses II, and the prince another name. I had intended to fix the punctuation in the caption, but it seems that the prince (whoever he is), rather than the Pharaoh, is closer to capturing the bull. But I'm no expert on Egyptian reliefs, so I've left the whole matter unchanged. 203.6.146.5 (talk) 08:33, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: This photo replaced one which I took showing that the pharaoh is swinging a lasso in his raised hand. I never knew the identity of the figures though.--Charles (talk) 09:32, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

message: The Egyptian word for Abydos (Greek word) is Abdju as seen in the first paragraph of this article. This is Phonetically identical to the Sumerian Apzu; the "dj" in Egyptian being pronounced as a "z" Wcichello (talk) 21:17, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
