	Ramesses III, Egypt's Last, Great Pharaoh
		Another of Ramesses III's queens was Tiy, but in a several noteworthy papyrus from his reign, particularly one known today as the Harem Conspiracy Papyrus, we learn of an assassination attempt upon the king in which she was at least a part of the plot.
		Though Ramesses III's foremost construct was his mortuary temple at Medinet Habu, which was finished in about the 12th year of his reign, at Karnak he provided numerous relief decorations and two new, small temples including one dedicated to Khonsu, the moon god.
		While we know that Ramesses III likely died during the trial of the harem conspirators, we really do not know how he died, though some scholars believe it was at the hands of the conspirators while others believe it was not related to the plot.

		Tethmosis III., greatest of the Pharaohs, remodelled the buildings about the obelisks of his unloved sister with the deliberate intention of hiding them from view, and largely reconstructed the surroundings of the court.
		At a later date, after his wars were over, he altered Hatshepsuts sanctuary, engraving on the walls about it a record of his campaigns; to this time also is to be attributed the erection of a great festival hall at the back of the temple.
		The closely crowded succession of broad pylons here suggests a want of space for westward expansion, and this is perhaps explained by a trace of a quay found byLegrain in 1905 near the southern line of pylons; a branch of the Nile or a large canal may have limited the growth.

	Did the Philistines settle in Canaan around 1200 BC?
		The appearance of a new type of pottery indicates that in the time of Rameses III a new group of population settled in the southwest of Canaan.
		After the time of Rameses III we also find a chance in culinary habits (the consumption of pork increased) and a change in architecture (fireplaces and the building of cities).
		So it is altogether not so strange that the new chronology assumes that long before Rameses III Philistines were living in the coastal area in the southwest of Palestine and that their material culture was mainly Canaanitic.

		From Yurco's own photographs of the two tombs, the Ramses III and Seti I wall reliefs of the four "Table of Nations" groups are obviously different.

		The Ramses III "Table of Nations" scene is indeed rare, but to claim that it doesn't exist or that Sethe/Lepsius made errors is dishonest.
