Expedition to Egypt. April 2018. ABYDOS: Sanctuary of Osiris
" Of the home of this being who rose from the dead, and of the position which he occupied in this World nothing can be learned from the texts, but late Greek writers assert that he was a King,and they are probably correct. Only kings and chiefs, or men of high rank, are buried in Africa with the pomp and ceremony which must have accompanied the committal to the grave of the man who afterwards rose from the dead. The exact region in Egypt where his kingdom was situated is unknown, but about his burial-place there is no doubt, for all tradition, both Egyptian and Greek, states that his grave was at Abydos. "

Expedition to Egypt. April 2018. ABYDOS: The Temple of Remesses II
"He made it as his monument for his father... making for him a beautiful and august temple fashioned excellently for eternity of beautiful white stone of Ayan, two great pylons of excellent workmanship, doorways of granite, doorleaves made of copper wrought with inlaid figures of real electrum, a sanctuary of pure alabaster roofed with granite."

JAMES S. WESTERMAN: Archeological Exploration in Abydos, Egypt
ISIDA Project administration welcomes our new partner - James S. Westerman.
" As an explorer, research historian, archeologist, engineer and physical scientist,I have dedicated much of my adult life to the pursuit of new knowledge.In particular, I searched for truth among the landscapes and monuments of antiquity. I strove to improve our understanding of human nature and civilization by more fully engaging the cultures of a long forgotten but still resonant past.
I have traveled to many archeological sites around the globe, but my work is mainly situated on two continents: Africa and South America.
In Africa I performed extensive archeological investigations in Abydos, Egypt, location of the Seti Temple, the Osireion and other significant monuments. My work in Egypt is the focus of this website."
