Summary "Le Tour du Monde; Abydos" by Various is a collection of travel essays written in the early 20th century. This particular volume focuses on Abydos, a site of immense historical significance in Egypt, known for its temples and monuments related to the legend of Osiris. The essays reflect on the ancient past as well as contemporary life in Abydos, delving into the local culture, history, and the impact of time on this sacred space. The opening of the work begins with a personal note from the author, M. E. Amélineau, who expresses gratitude for the time spent in Abydos and its rich historical treasures. He narrates the legend of Osiris, detailing the ancient traditions tied to Abydos and its role in the early civilization of Egypt. Amélineau describes Abydos as a place where history and legend intertwine, emphasizing the significance of the site for both ancient Egyptians and modern visitors. He also touches on themes of destruction and preservation, illustrating how the remarkable monuments have suffered over time but continue to invoke a sense of wonder and reverence among those who study them.
