Scenes in the Osiris chapel

 

In the Osiris chapel , one can see 9 additionnal episodes that don't appear in the liturgy of Karnak, nor in the other chapels. The positions of 5 among them are shown below. The other are on the walls surrounding the door. Contrary to the other chapels, this chapel doesn't possess scenes of entries and exits of the priest. On the other hand, it leads to the osirian complex. It was probably only a place of passage toward this complex where was performed a particular ritual.
