	Amenmesse
		Amenmesse (also Amenmesses) was the 5th ruler of the Nineteenth Dynasty in Ancient Egypt, possibly the son of Merneptah and queen Takhat.
		It seems more likely, however, that Seti II had Amenmesse's remains desecrated since his Mummy was never found "in either of the two great caches of royal mummies found in 1881 and 1901" (Yurco 1997, 54) Surviving inscriptions mentioning Takhat's name along with the wall inscriptions suggest she was buried in Amenmesse's tomb.

		Amenmesse 's wife was once thought to be a woman named Baktwerel but more recent analysis of his royal tomb proves that she was not a contemporary of this Pharaoh.

	Dynasty 19: Merenptah, Amenmesse, Seti II
		Amenmesse (Menmire) 1203 - 1200 B.C. Amenmesses is generally considered to be the 5th ruler of Egypt's 19th Dynasty, though most Egyptologists believe he was probably not the legitimate heir to the throne.
		Amenmesses was also, among others, responsible for restoration work on a barque shrine dating from Tuthmosis III that stands before a small temple at Tod.
		Amenmesses' tomb cannot be visited as it is being excavated, and unless some sort of amazing recovery process is discovered, it may never be a popular tourist attraction.

		Seti I is not as well known as his father and grandfather -- and in fact there appears to be some confusion over the sequence of kings and events that led to his rule and the rule of his successors.
		As the eldest son of Marietta, he was the military commander for his father and he reigned only after the brief reign of Amenmesse, his half-brother.
		Amenmesse may have been a legitimate successor or he may have usurped the throne.

		Amenmesse was the general who came out victorious during Merenptah's war against the Lybians resulting in the imprisonment of Merenptah/Hophra/Apries and his eventuel death by the mob.
		It should also be noted that Amenmesses usurped a number of preexisting monuments himself, and though we now believe that tomb KV 10 in the Valley of the Kings was originally begun by this king, little other building work exists.
		Amenmesses was also, among others, responsible for restoration work on a barque shrine dating from Thutmose III that stands before a small temple at Tod.

	Egyptian Pharaohs : Ramesside Period : Dynasty 19 : Amenmesse
		There is some disagreement over when Amenmesse ruled, and whether he ruled before Seti II legitimately, or whether he usurped the throne from his brother.
		It is possible that Seti II was simply gone when his father died and Amenmesse stepped in to fill the role, but he ruled for 3-4 years, and Seti II had his inscriptions nd name erased which is usually a sign of an illegitimate rule.
		Six statues are attributed to Amenmesse, on the axis of the hypostyle hall at Karnak, but these were taken over by Set II.

		This dynasty declined as internal fighting between the heirs of Merneptah for the throne increased.
		Amenmesse apparently usurped the throne from Merneptah's son and successor, Seti II, but he ruled Egypt for only 4 years.
		Seti was served at Court by Chancellor Bay, who was originally just a 'royal scribe' but quickly became one of the most powerful men in Egypt gaining the unprecedented privilege of constructing his own tomb in the Valley of the Kings (KV17).

		Amenmesse's tomb had been discovered long ago, but Schaden had worked for many years on cleaning and recording it.

	Three: Children of Merneptah: Moses, Miriam, and Seti II
		There is some dispute as to whether King Amenmesse followed directly on the reign of Merneptah or whether he succeeded Seti II, the husband of one Tausret among others.
		Amenmesse simply seizes Egypt with the help of his Hyksos allies and drives Merneptah into exile in "Ethiopia," the Cush of the Masoretic Text.
		Imagine if we could discover the identity of "that rebel." That there should have been a third, later, such revolt after the reign of the young, politically and militarily inexperienced Siptah, this time led by a priest and a scribe who may have been younger brothers of the king's regent, is therefore not surprising.

		The chamber — given the name "KV63" in accordance with the sequential numbering convention used in the Valley — was initially thought to be a tomb, the first new one to be revealed there since the discovery of KV62, the tomb of Tutankhamun, by Howard Carter in 1922.
		KV63 is located in the area between KV10 (Amenmesse) and KV62 (Tutankhamun),
		The discovery was made as the archaeological team was excavating the remains of 19th dynasty workmen's huts at the entrance to KV10, looking for evidence to clarify the succession of Amenmesse.

		The tomb KV63 was found accidentally last February during excavations being carried out by the Memphis University mission at the tomb of the 19th-Dynasty Pharaoh Amenmesse in the Valley of the Kings.
		The mission stumbled upon a corridor that led to the entrance of another side chamber housing five wooden sarcophagi and 20 sealed clay jars.
		While digging outside this tomb the team stumbled upon the remains of workmen's huts and noted a depression in the ground which they believed could be the top of a shaft leading to a tomb.

		His go-slow approach, his reluctance to face the media onslaught and his failure to field the requisite conservators and artists immediately after the tomb was opened have annoyed some colleagues.
		Like most of the others, Amenmesse's tomb had been looted over the centuries, and flash floods eventually filled its passages with debris; it was one of the first in the valley to be explored, in the early 1800s, by European travelers.
		But one small area close to the entrance of Amenmesse's tomb had escaped their attention.
