	Abydos, Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abydos (Arabic: أبيدوس), one of the most ancient cities of Upper Egypt, stood about 11 km (6 miles) west of the Nile at latitude 26° 10' N. The Egyptian name was Abdju (technically, 3bdw, hieroglyphs shown to the right), "the hill of the symbol or reliquary," in which the sacred head of Osiris was preserved.
		Abydos became notable for the Great Temple of Abydos, of Seti I, which contains a tunnel displaying the "Table of Abydos": a chronological list showing cartouche names of every dynastic pharaoh of Egypt from the first, Narmer/Menes, until the pharaohs of the last dynasty.
		In the TV series Stargate SG-1 (and the 1994 movie where it first appeared) Abydos is the name of a planet which has art and culture analogous to ancient Egypt and also features a large pyramid/spaceship landing pad and a temple to the Goa'uld who posed as the sun god Ra.
