He built a tomb for his mother in the Valley of the Queens. He assumed power on behalf of his nephew Ramesses V, who had no children. He had to make his reign a great period like his predecessors, the Ramesses, despite the short period and lack of capabilities, so he reduced the number of workers in Deir el-Medina and used the tomb of Ramesses V as his cemetery. But he completed the work begun by the kings who preceded him in the mortuary temple west of Granada. He wrote his name on some monuments instead of Ramesses IV and Ramesses V. He installed his daughter with Queen Nebuchad Isis as the king's daughter, wife of the god Amun , and a worshiping goddess, Isis, alongside the high priest (Ramsesnacht), who assumed this mission from the reign of Ramesses IV to the reign of Ramesses IX . The economic situation is in complete deterioration, while looting gangs are widespread in the Taiba region. The king died after a reign of eight years and was succeeded by Ramesses VII. Ramesses VI was buried in tomb Kv9, to be looted after the end of the Twentieth Dynasty. His mummy was transferred to the lair of Amnophis II, where it was found.
