text: Ramesses I (traditional English:
  Ramses) was the founding
  19th dynasty. The dates for his short reign are not completely known but the time-line of late
  1292–1290 BC is frequently cited as well as
  1295–1294 BC. While Ramesses I was the founder of the 19th dynasty, in reality his brief reign marked the transition between the reign of
  Horemheb who had stabilized Egypt in the late 18th dynasty and the rule of the powerful pharaohs of this dynasty, in particular his son
  Seti I and grandson
  Ramesses II, who would bring Egypt up to new heights of imperial power.
