In front of us is the imaginary door of the Abydos Temple dedicated to King Seti I of the Nineteenth Dynasty (father of King Ramesses II). We find written on the column that is located in the middle of the wall the titles of King Seti I, and we find it as follows,The Horrian title: The powerful bull that appeared in Thebes, the life-giving of the two lands.Coronation title: Perpetuity of Justice of Ra.Birth title: belonging to Osiris and Set, loved by Ptah,Then the text concludes with the phrase: He who lives in the temple of "The Perpetual Justice of Ra" beloved by Amun Ra; That is, King Seti I. It should be noted that the meaning of "Seti" is related to the god Set.
