Abstract

Abydos Temple is one of Egypt's most significant sites, with a rich history that stretches from the ancient kingdom until the arrival of Islam. It has been built for about 4000 years. The main goal of this study is to use advanced geophysical techniques, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR), in conjunction with SIR 4000 control units and 200 MHz center frequency antennas, to search for more undiscovered remains of archaeological objects such as ancient walls, tombs, monuments, and so on, in the study area. The study's final findings revealed that there are numerous hyperbolic anomalies beneath the ground surface at a depth of roughly 2 meters, indicating the presence of probable ancient remains that must be excavated for confirmation. Many abnormalities that could represent important ancient tombs or walls were found on the radarogram, according to a thorough examination of the results. The existence of walls in the processed pictures at depths ranging from 2 to 4 meters indicates the presence of ancient communities as well as some buried archaeological objects.
