		Despite all the resonating melancholy, “Abydos“ became a colourful story which is stimulating the listeners imagination, it became a modern fairy tale including autobiographical touches of the storyteller.
		However the story is revealed only in part on the album since the basis for “Abydos“ is a play written by Kuntz which already ensured the interest of many playhouses before the release, and which in essence can be heard on this CD.

		Since 1995, the Abydos Middle Cemetery Project, which I direct under the aegis of the Kelsey Museum and the Pennsylvania-Yale-New York University Expedition, has focused on the mysterious part of Abydos from which Weni's inscription was known to have come.
		Mariette was not known for meticulous field notes, and consequently there is no detailed record of the findspots of Weni's inscription or those of several other important officials found on "the high hill which gives the middle cemetery its name" (Mariette's words, and among his most detailed contextual comments!).
		Our interest has therefore been not only to resituate physically the individual Weni the Elder but also to illuminate the character and spatial organization of the late Old Kingdom cemetery as a whole, as well as its relationship with the adjacent town and temple area during a pivotal period of Egyptian history.
