The Great Temple of Seti I at Abydos has an L-shaped plan. The Osirion lies immediately behind it on the same main axis, about 25 feet below current ground level, and is linked to the temple complex. It is identified as Seti I’s cenotaph.
The video argues that Seti found an already buried Osirion and turned the temple to avoid it. That is the presenter’s interpretation, not an established Egyptological conclusion.
