• Anyone object to this article being rewritten – it is a bit of a mess, and rather confusing, especially as this is one of the most important places in Ancient Egypt mythology. The rewrite will be at Abydos, Egypt/temp Markh 10:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

26-Aug-2006: The current article, "Abydos, Egypt" has been expanded greatly, surpassing the article 'Abydos, Egypt/temp' which is only a stub. -Wikid77 09:47, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

It is because I haven't added anything since I created the temp article. Markh 10:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki issues

26-Aug-2006: The following issues relate to Wiki formatting rules, which are still debated:

• Lower-cased Headers: Although Wiki headers are wikified to lower-case after the first word, note that "Great Temple" is a proper noun, so "Temple" has been re-upcased in the header. I feel that headers should have capital words, as in standard grammar and punctuation, because wikified as lower-case seems way spastic, with more problems having to guess which words are the proper nouns that will be capitalized. -Wikid77 09:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
• Image Locations: As of August 2006, Wiki display might still truncate text around images, depending on multiple images near each other. I had to separate the Hieroglyphs-image from the Egypt-map-image on the page, since text was being cut off next to those images. -Wikid77 10:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sacred Head of Osiris

What the heck is that? I've cross-referenced it and can't find a thing. Is it the same as the "Tower of Osiris"? Or is it relating to a myth? --Laveaux 19:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Temple of Osiris (helicopters and modern things)

Is there already an article for this? Because if so, it should be linked to here, if not, we need something about it, because it is a documented notable place for its glyphs of the helicoper, hovercraft, spaceship, and jet. Queerbubbles (talk) 23:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
