Image Title:
Paramessu [Rameses I]

Note:
“Few today know the name Paramessu, but the name this ancient Egyptian soldier took upon becoming pharaoh resounds through the ages: Rameses

Rameses I gave us more than just a name. He gave us a Dynasty, the 19th, one of the most illustrious ancient Egypt ever knew. And he gave us living legends: his son Seti I ushered in a period of art and culture unrivaled in later Egyptian civilization, and his grandson Rameses II earned the suffix "the Great" by building more temples and erecting more obelisks and statues (and siring more children) than any other pharaoh. No fewer than 10 subsequent pharaohs proudly adopted the name Rameses, Rameses XI passing on—and ending the so-called Ramesside period—237 years after his namesake took the throne.” [PBS] Learn More
