From Middle Kingdom on grew the cult of Osiris and with-it Abydos became the main religious and ceremonial center that drew individuals to participate in the festival, built cenotaph or deposit a votive offering like a stela or votive sarcophagus, statue or an Ushabti. They placed it near the temple of Osiris or on processional route. This is with the hope to guarantee their own afterlife existence beside Osiris, god of Dead and participate in the offerings presented to him.
