Abstract

This paper presents some suggestions and interpretations of the phenomena of the presence of the apotropaic god Bes in the particular context of memory in the traditional Egyptian religion center at Abydos (in Egyptian lore Abydos was indelibly linked with Osiris cult). During the later Roman Empire, in Christian times, the sanctuary become an oracle of interregional popularity. In this article, I propose to interpretation the fact presence of the god Bes, which can be regarded as an example of religious archaism.
