Ramesses I "Barameses"
Ramesses I "Barameses" 1--1522
Ramses I was a deputy to the army during the reign of King Horemheb, and he was called Baramsu or Barameses, as he had no royal origins. But he was from an old military family, and he was old, and when he became king, he was fifty years old. He took the name Ramesses, meaning son of Ra.
King Horemheb left military matters to his companion Ramesses, and he focused on the internal affairs of the country. When Ramesses ascended the throne of Egypt, his attention turned to the city of Tanis, which became the summer residence for him and his successor, his son, King Seti I.
Ramesses I began building the Great Hall of Legends (the Hypostyle Hall) at Karnak, which was completed by his son Seti I. Due to the short period of his reign, Ramesses I was unable to leave important traces in Egypt. At the same time, he ordered the construction of a tomb for himself (No. 16) in the Valley of the Kings, but he died before it was completed, so his mummy was buried in one of the front rooms of his tomb. A manuscript called the Book of Doors, one of the parts of the Book of the Dead, was found in his tomb. This manuscript is important as it gives us an idea of the ancient Egyptian beliefs at that time. There are some few traces of King Ramesses I in Memphis and Heliopolis, as well as in the temple of his son Seti I in Abydos.
