I'm writing a fictional book about Egypt. One of my main characters is Ramses I, but I can't find any information about him. Does anybody know of anywhere I can look?

-Akhenaten-

Rameses I Menpehtyre(1293-1291 bce) became pharaoh
almost by default.
He was previously the vizier, close friend and confidant of pharaoh
Horemheb,who having failed to produce an heir-appears to have
bestowed the succession on his comrad. Rameses must have been
a man in his fifties at the time, and was not of royal blood.
He was a 'career' army officer, the son of a troop comander
named Seti.
Their familly came from the north-eastern Delta area of Avaris, the
capitol of the Hyksos invaders from 400 years earlier.
Rameses I reigned a short time , 2 years perhaps-but he
had an heir Seti I (meryenptah) Menmaatre (1291-1278 bce).

So began the 19th dynasty.

That was very helpful. That was more inforamtion than I learned from all my books on Egypt! Thanks

P.S. Does anybody know of any good books on mummies?

:lol: yes! Little is known of his specific acts, except that he was a commander under the former Pharaoh, Haremhab, who is supposed to have chosen him as his successor. Ramses 1 had the colonnaded hall in the temple at Karnak built.Is it sufficient:?:
