That makes sense for gameplay, but not really for the story. Abe probably wants to help his fellow-slaves to get out (there is a sign before the exit that if you leave, all of the other workers in this section will die, though again that might just be for gameplay [how do they know that you're trying to get out? does it simply apply to everyone?]) but will he know how? Perhaps there are some wild-caught mudokons that teach the others how to chant, maybe for peace of mind? And then Abe finds out that he can use his for something.
Story-wise, I think it would be better if he knew nothing of his culture (because he started off not knowing much about anything) or of special powers and what-not, and was taught everything at the temple, maybe from the wild mudokons and BigFace.
