Seti I

Seti I was the second pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty, who ruled all of Egypt and parts of Libya, Nubia, and the Levant from 869 to 840 B.C. He succeeded his father Ramesses I, and was succeeded by the famous Ramesses II (the Great). The events of this pharaoh's reign are well-known to both the revised and traditional histories.

Seti I was the son of Ramesses I, who was the son of Seti (a vizier of the late 18th Dynasty). Seti had several children, but the most important was the famous Ramesses II (the Great).

In 869 B.C., Ramesses I died after a very short reign, and passed the throne on to his son Seti I. Seti defeated Libyans on the western border early in his reign, who would become a problem later in the dynasty. He also conquered Libya and Nubia, as well as parts of Canaan.

Seti I conquered the city of Kadesh and captured the territory of Syria from the Hittites, but very quickly it was retaken by the king Muwatallis. Ramesses II would also fail to reconquer this city during his reign. Seti I retired to Egypt, and built many monuments over the rest of his nearly 30 year reign until he died.
