Eyptian King Seti 1 (reigned c.1291-1278 BCE) was the son of Ramesses I, the founder of the nineteenth dynasty and the father of Ramessess II, one of the greatest of all the pharaohs. This painting is painted onto carved, polished limestone relief.

Some scholars believe that Sethos, whose name may have meant "Man of Set", built the Abydos temple to propitiate Horus. In this painting, Seti is receiving his pharaonic regalia from Horus, including a headdress, which is blue to emphasize his military success, and a royal scepter. In his left hand, Horus holds the ankh, the ancient Egyptian symbol of life.

Introduction of Eyptian King Seti 1:

Eyptian King Seti 1 was a Pharaoh of the New Kingdom 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.

The name Seti means "of Set", which indicates that he was consecrated to the god Set. As with most Pharaohs, Seti had several names. Upon his ascension, he took the prenomen mn-m3‘t-r‘, usually vocalized as Menmaatre, in Egyptian, which means " Eternal is the Justice of Re." His better known nomen, or birth name, is transliterated as sty mry-n-ptḥ, or Sety Merenptah, meaning "Man of Set, beloved of Ptah". Manetho incorrectly considered him to be the founder of the 19th dynasty, and gave him a reign length of 55 years, though no evidence has ever been found for so long a reign.
