And we know also that the family are from this part of the Eastern Delta in the north of Egypt, where the god Seth is the local patron.

Now, who's the god Seth?

Now, Seth, we've encountered him before, you and I. We have, yeah.

But Seth is kind of the yin to the yang of Horus.

So he's often described in very negative terms because he's a god of storms and he tries to do nasty things to his nephew, but he's also great of strength.

The god Seth is emblematic of this kind of brute, uncontrolled, voracious strength on the battlefield.

So the fact that Ramesses I takes that name, I think is politically,

And religiously, the two are interconnected.

Yes, though I should say Horemheb's tomb is abandoned in the north because he's not really buried there because he's a king.

He has artisans go and add a snake to his brow on almost all the depictions of him in his tomb at Saqqara in the north because he's become a king.

But a king...

in the new kingdom of Egypt at that time, cannot be buried in a mere Saqqara tomb.

He's got to be buried in the royal cemetery at the Valley of the Kings.

So there's a tomb of Horm-Heb at the Valley of the Kings?

At the Valley of the Kings.

So Ramesses I, and this is an interesting question,

Unlike Akhenaten doesn't just stay in one place at one time and stick there.

He moves around.

I think he starts back.

Well, he continues this tradition of the peripatetic chord, but there is definitely a favouring of the north.
