Seti I and AnubisSeti I and Anubis

Seti I (reigned 1306-1290 bc), ancient Egyptian king, second ruler of the 19th Dynasty, the son and successor of King Ramses I (ruled 1307-1306 bc). In 1306 bc he ruled as coregent with his father for a short time. He tried to recover some Syrian possessions Egypt had lost during the internal dissensions at the close of the 18th Dynasty. Later in his reign, Seti conquered Palestine, defended his western frontier against the Libyans, and fought against the Hittites. Seti's magnificent tomb in the Valley of the Kings, near Thebes, and his temple at Abydos are impressive architectural monuments. His mummy was found in 1881 at Dayr al Baḩrī.
