And He is

Ramesses I:

*His name Re mes  sw ,means:,He who was born by Ra,

*He came from a long line of soldiers whose homeland was in the  Eastern Delta ,probably in the region of Qantir.

 He rose to the rank of vizier under king Horemheb and founded the 19^th Dynasty. 

His adoption as heir by Horemheb is recorded in an inscription in the coffin which was made for him when he was still a vizier .*He ruled for less than two years .

His work activities

*At Karnak he began work on  the second pylon and Hypostyle Hall. Those monuments were completed by his successors.

 His most well-known monument is the small mortuary chapel erected for him at Abydos by Sethi 1.

His tomb and burial

His mummy was later removed to the Royal Cachette but has not been identified among the bodies from that find.
