Summary

Sety I (Part 1): A Repeat Appearance. In 1303 BCE, the old king Ramesses is dead after a brief reign. But now, for the first time in decades, a royal son is taking power. King Sety (Men-ma'at-Ra) ascends, aged approximately thirty years old. The new ruler's reign will be noteworthy for its splendid monuments and its abundant records. In fact, as his reign begins, we can even trace his movements on a week-to-week basis... Video version of Sety's coronation imagery available on YouTube. Note: Patrons enjoy an extended epilogue on this episode. Date: c. 1303 BCE (roughly July to September). Music: Luke Chaos and Keith Zizza. Logo image: Sety I from his royal tomb. Louvre Museum.
