Something wrong?He ruled Egypt for maybe two years, founded a dynasty, and died - but his significance lies almost entirely in what came after: a son and grandson who became two of the most formidable pharaohs in ancient history.

Menpehtyre Ramesses I took the throne in the late 1290s BC, the timeline most often given as 1292-1290 BC or 1295-1294 BC. He was the first pharaoh of Egypt's 19th Dynasty, arriving after Horemheb had steadied the kingdom through the closing years of the 18th. Ramesses I's reign was brief - too short to leave much of his own mark - but it bridged one era to another. His son Seti I and grandson Ramesses II would go on to command the dynasty's power and memory, making his brief tenure less a story in itself than the hinge on which Egypt's next great age turned.
