So: above the 2nd Hypostyle hall in the plan: not in the Gallery of Lists ...


So, 70 there, total 78? Darn, why

I think I might be a bit confused.

This one [narmer.pl] (mentioned in my previous post) gives precise details of the following:

Upper register - 38

Lower register - 38

So total 76 (not 78).

Below is the 2nd table, apparently now in the Br. Museum: but all these names are dynastic, not pre-dynastic.

I was also confused about their location. I was under the impression they were from the Gallery of the Lists, as shown here:

[www.ancientegyptfoundation.org] - Fig 1. Miss Calverly’s plan of the Temple of Seti I.

But Plate 35, vol i, is labelled

"PLATE 35
Chapel of Osiris Chapel of Isis Chapel of Horus
PILASTERS IN THE CENTRE OF THE LONGER WALLS": so surely not the Gallery of the Lists, then - although you state that "That's all in the '(king) List Gallery'."

The others you mentioned are from the Chapels of Osiris, etc. You say there are 70 pre-dyn. kings there ... but presumably those 70 would be different from the 76 in the other location.

IOW, there's 146 altogether ...

Perhaps you could put me straight on this?
