The Ramesside period of the New Kingdom in ancient Egypt Horemheb was the first post-Amarna king to be considered legitimate in the 19th dynasty, which looked to him as the founder of an epoch. The reigns of the Amarna pharaohs were eventually to be subsumed into his own, leaving no official record of what posterity deemed to be an unorthodox and distasteful interlude. Having no son, he selected his general and vizier, Ramses, to succeed him. #Ramses #egypt #history #ancient_egypt #new_kingdom #pharaohs https://www.egypttales.com/2021/06/egypt-ramesside-period-19th-and-20th.html
