Menmaatre Seti I (sometimes called Sethi I) was a
Pharaoh of
Ancient Egypt (
Nineteenth dynasty of Egypt), the son of
Ramesses I and
Queen Sitre, and the father of
Ramesses II. As with all dates in Ancient Egypt, the actual dates of his reign are unclear, and various historians claim different dates, with
1294 BC –
1279 BC and
1290 BC to
1279 BC being the most commonly used by scholars today. These 2 dates are dependent on the chronological system used by a particular Egyptologist. The ancient
Egyptians counted time from a king's accession day as Year One of a Pharaoh's reign. When a Pharaoh died or fell from power, the following day immediately became Year number 1 of his successor's reign. To identify Seti I's Year 1 with a specific BC year, a chronologist must not only take into account the existing evidence from various sources, but which set of interpretations that he/she finds valid, so different chronologists and historians can have different views on the subject.
