Ancient Egyptian King and second ruler of the 19th Dynasty, the son and successor of King RAmesses I, Seti, from 1292 BC, ruled as coregent with his father for a short time. He tried to recover some Syrian possessions Egypt had lost during theinternal dissensions at the close of the 18th Dynasty. Later in his reign, Seti conquered Palestine, defended his western frontier against the Libyans, and fought against the Hittites. Seti's magnificent tomb in the Valley of the Kings, nearThebes, and his Temple at Abydos are impressive architectural monuments. His mummy was found in 1881 at Dayr al-Bahri. |
