Behind it there is the first hypostyle hall (f) with 24 papyrus columns. Seven doorways lead into the second hypostyle hall (g) with 36 pillars which serves as a vestibule for the seven cult chapels (h) in the west wall dedicated to Seti I, Ptah, Re-Horakhty, Amun-Re, Osiris, Isis and Horus. Back in the second hypostyle hall there are two doorways in the south wall. The doorway on the left leads into a corridor called the "Abydos King List" in which Seti I and his young son Ramses II offer to a list of cartouches of 76 known kings beginning with the Pharao Menes of Dynasty I and ending with Seti I. Some of the rulers omitted include Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, Semenkhare, Tutankhamun and Ay.
