		Near the end of the 2nd millennium BC, new waves of barbarians, riding on horseback this time, wholly destroyed the Bronze Age world, and were to be followed by waves of social changes that marked the beginning of very different times.

		Seti eventually died in 1279 BC, and thus Ramesses became king at twenty five years of age.
