In 1881, the remains of the original wooden coffins and the perfectly preserved mummy of SETI I were discovered in a cache in Deir El-Bahri.

Egyptologists were pleasantly surprised by the superior preservation of the mummified remains of Menmaatre Seti I, also known as Sety I, who belonged to the Nineteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom. His fасe is viewed as one of the most mind-blowing protected on the planet as well as in Old Egypt’s chronicles.

Kicking the bucket around quite a while back, Seti I is figured to have governed when Egypt was at one of its most well-off tops from 1290 to 1279 BCE. He was the father of Ramesses II, possibly the most beloved pharaoh of ancient Egypt. His dad, Ramses I, ruled for just two years.

On October 16, 1817, the rebellious researcher Giovanni Battista Belzoni brought the tomb of this extremely powerful and handsome ruler to the attention of the entire world.

The longest tom in the entire necropolis is KV17, which can be found in the Valley of the Kings. About 137 meters (449 feet) long.

A yellow shroud covered Seti’s mummified body, which had been neatly prepared. However, thieves had damaged his abdomen and tampered with his bandages. Moreover, Seti’s body was separated from his body, including his head. fortunately, his domain did not change. Presently, the remaining parts of Seti I rest among other regal mummies in the Cairo historical center.

Seti led his army north in the early years of his reign to restore Egyptian prestige, which had been diminished in part during the troubled years of Akhenaton’s late 18th dynasty. He fought in Syria and northern Palestine, including at least one battle with Hittite king Muwatallis; He then signed a peace treaty that may have established the border between the Anti-Lebanon and Lebanon mountains at Kadesh on the Orontes River.

During his 11 or 15 years in power, Seti significantly contributed to Egypt’s prosperity. He strengthened the frontier, opened mines and quarries, dug wells, and rebuilt decrepit or destroyed temples and shrines; In addition, he continued his father’s work on Karnak’s great hypostyle hall, one of Egyptian architecture’s most recognizable landmarks.

His memorial temple at Abydos, which he dedicated to Osiris and featured six other gods and still has much of its original color, is another significant piece. The finest tom in western Thebes’ Valley of the Kings is Seti’s.

Although his son Ramses II is more well-known, many scholars believe Seti to have been the 19th dynasty’s greatest king.
