New insights into Religious Ritual at Ramesside Abydos by Dr. Ogden Goelet - ARCE Virtual Lecture

During the Nineteenth Dynasty, the Abydos temple of Ramesses II played a significant role in the Khoiak festival, the central event of the Thinite Nome’s religious calendar. There are many interesting and overlooked features in this temple, the first that Ramesses built independently in what was to be an extraordinarily ambitious program of those monuments known as memorial temples, or more properly, Temples of Millions of Years.
This lecture, presented by Dr. Ogden Goelet, concentrated mostly on temple’s western section at the back, the location of the so-called Osiris Suite. This was a group of five normal rectangular rooms symmetrically arranged around the temple’s largest chapel, which was dedicated to Osiris, the chief deity of the dead, the afterworld, and Abydene nome itself.

The audio quality is horrible

The lecture itself might have been good - but I gave up after 5 mins as the audio was so distractingly bad. I guess the audio problem is a combination of low-quality microphone - and internet speed, causing audio delay & breakup.
