Thebes - Mortuary Temple of Sethos I

Some 2.25mi/4km north of the landing stage is the Mortuary Temple of Sethos I at Qurna, dedicated to Amun and to the cult of the King's father Ramesses I. Left unfinished by Sethos I, it was adorned by Ramesses II with reliefs and inscriptions, which vie in quality with the contemporary work at Abydos. The temple was originally 519ft/158m long, but all that now remains is the sanctuary with its various halls and chambers (154ft/47m deep) and some scanty fragments of the courts and pylons.
