Menpehtyre Ramesses I (traditional English: Ramesses or Rameses ) was the founding
Pharaoh of
Ancient Egypt's
19th dynasty. The dates for his short reign are not completely known but the time-line of late
1292-1290 BC is frequently cited as well as
1295-1294 BC. While Ramesses I was the founder of the 19th Dynasty, in reality his brief reign marked the transition between the reign of
Horemheb who had stabilised Egypt and the rule of the powerful Pharaohs of this dynasty, in particular
Seti I and
Ramesses II, who would bring Egypt up to new heights of imperial power.
