One of the long, transverse halls of the Osireion

The transverse halls nearest Seti I's temple was also built of limestone with a corbeled roof of sandstone cut in the shape of a pent roof. Its decorations consisting of astronomical and funerary text stood at either end of the main hall. Other scenes included a depiction of the sky goddess, Nut, which was commissioned during the actual reign of Seti I rather than his grandson. Hence, the structure incorporates many of the elements of New Kingdom royal tombs.The Osireion is perhaps the most conspicuous example of religious symbolism in Egyptian architecture.
