So does that make Horemheb's achievement even greater?

The fact that he does reign for a long time and does prove to be quite an, it seems quite an effective ruler.

Is adoption a thing at the time?

So we can presume that, I mean, Paramaheb choosing his heir, and Paramasu, you know, probably was a loyal subordinate in the close circle, but also, aside from that loyalty, someone who had that family line there.

We don't know if he had any connection to the royal family of old at all, do we?

So is Paramasu, can I clue in the name, is he the beginning of this new dynasty, of the 19th dynasty?

But we don't hear about Ramesses I. And do we know much about his reign?

It's short-lived, as you say, but do we know much?

And so his family originates from the north of Egypt.

Yes.

But when he becomes pharaoh, at that time, does he have to relocate himself further south?

Because you mentioned the Valley of the Kings earlier.

Yes.

Although Horemheb is buried much further north at Saqqara, but is it at that time that Luxor and ancient Thebes is the main center of Egypt?

Oh, well.

This is why I wanted to talk about Rameses I for quite a bit, because he lasts not very long at all.

And yet, from the surviving evidence of first his son and then Rameses the Great, you can actually see perhaps a few of the projects that he had in mind that he didn't get to live long enough to see through.

So Ramesses the Great, his grandson, is alive at the time that Ramesses I is ruling for that period.

Interesting.

Well then, let's talk about Seti I. What do we know about his reign following the death of Ramses I?
