Menmaatre Seti I ruled Egypt from roughly 1290 to 1279 BC as the second pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty. Born to Ramesses I and Sitre, he carried a name meaning "of Set" - consecrated to the deity of storms and disorder - and took the throne name Menmaatre, "Established is the Justice of Re." His full birth name, Sety Merenptah, translates as "Man of Set, beloved of Ptah," binding him to two gods at once. He fathered Ramesses II, who would become Ramesses the Great. The Greeks later knew him as Sethos I.
