2000 mummified sheep skulls from the time of Ramses 2 found on the temple in Abydos

2000 mummified sheep skulls from the time of Ramses 2 found on the temple in Abydos
Archaeologists have found more than 2,000 mummified sheep skulls in the ancient city of Abydos!
 Imagine the scale, this is not just a random find, but a historical discovery!
 After this event, we will be able to understand Ramses II more broadly, as one of the most influential pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.

 It seems that these skulls were sacrifices that accompanied the pharaoh to the afterlife.
 But the most interesting thing is that the temple is not the burial place of Ramses II.

 Why was this temple built then? After all, the pharaoh was not only a powerful ruler, but also a very religious person. And he dedicated this temple to the god Osiris and to his father Seti I. Maybe he just liked to build beautiful and impressive structures?

 In any case, this discovery is unlikely to leave fans of archeology and the history of Ancient Egypt indifferent. Who knows, maybe these skulls will be the key to new discoveries and will allow us to learn even more about the mysterious world of the pharaohs and their rituals.
