This really piqued my interest a few years back...

Supposedly it was debunked as natural erosion of the original carvings...but still...it's eerie.

The only attempt to debunk the Abydos figures that I've seen is an argument by a traditional Egyptologist that they are the result of overlaying an earlier inscription with a newer one.
While the statement by the Egyptologist that this was a common practice is indeed true (prime advertising space has always been a premium, even in ancient times), her assertion that a random overlay of one inscription by another could produce an assemblage of so many such clearly discernable and immediately recognizable vehicular figures is simply absurd. It beggared the limits of probability and demanded that one ignore the evidence of their own eyes.
