Summary
| Description | Wall reliefs from the burial chamber of Tomb KV15, the unfinished Tomb of the 19th Dynasty king Seti II. While Seti II nominally had a reign of 6 years, he lost control of Upper Egypt and the Valley of the Kings to a rival king there named Amenmesse who was most likely one of the innumerable sons or grandsons of Ramesses II. This situation reflects the succession crisis which gripped late 19th Dynasty Egypt given the fact that Ramesses II lived into his 90’s but fathered so many sons who could pose as future rival contenders to the throne. Seti II himself was the son of Merneptah who succeeded Ramesses II but Merneptah himself was only the thirteenth son of Ramesses II. After defeating Amenmesse’s bid for the throne, Seti II had less than 2 years to complete his royal tomb--which reflects its incomplete state. This photo was personally taken by Tobeytravels |
