Abstract

The present paper is a focused study of two striking hawk-headed sphinxes graffiti, surmounted by a brief hieratic inscription, located at the northern wall of the corridor that leads to the outside west gate of the temple of King Seti I at Abydos; the Upper sphinx graffito is deeply and carefully incised; meanwhile, the Lower one is not. The presence of such graffiti suggests the existence of two hawk-headed sphinxes statues at some place within the temple of Abydos. The study discusses the purpose of the incision at the chosen spot, the date of the graffiti and the relationship between the graffiti and Seti I and his son Ramses II, it will cite other parallel examples in Ramesside temples, in order to support the summation, concluding the study with the conception and impacts of these graffiti.
