Ramsès IX

Ramsès (-1126 with -1108, or towards -1129 with -1111 or -1140 with -1121) is the eighth Pharaon of. He succeeded Ramsès {{VIII}} and had as a heir Ramsès {{X}} whose relation with Ramsès is still not elucidated.

Its eighteen years with the capacity represent the second reigns longest of this dynasty.

The tomb of Ramsès (KV6), located in the Valley of the Kings (discovery of a supposed shoe of sledge carrying a sarcophagus), was violated as of antiquity as the graffiti Romans and Greeks testify some on the walls to the tomb. However, its mummy was transferred with other mummies from in a hiding-place from Deir el-Bahari (DB320) where she was discovered in 1881.

Genealogy

Its family tree is discussed:

Edward Frank Wente advances the thesis which he is the son of Ramsès {{VIII}}.
Kenneth Anderson Kitchen thought initially that it was one of wire of Ramsès {{VII}} but thinks now as the majority of the Egyptologists who it could be one of wire of the prince Mentuherkhepshef and thus the grandson of Ramsès {{III}}.
Aidon Mark Dodson supposes that his/her mother is Tachat and that Bakenwerel is his wife (she was regarded before as the mother and the wife of Amenmès). Both are buried in the Vallée of the Kings (fall KV10).

Nebmaâtrê, large priest with Héliopolis and Mentuherkhepshef, died before being able to succeed his/her father but who with the one of the most beautiful tombs of the Vallée of the Kings (KV19), pass for wire of Ramsès. Its successor, Ramsès {{X}}, is according to certain researchers his son or his son-in-law whose Titi partner, would be thus the daughter-in-law or the girl of Ramsès.

Reign

History

Ramsès is especially known historians not to have succeeded, between sixteenth and nineteenth year of its reign, to prevent the plundering necropolis royal of Thèbes and necropoles private, or worse, to have supported it. The causes of plundering are multiple: economic crisis, attacks of the Libyans and corruption of the civils servant. Many a famous papyruses reports work of the board of inquiry and the lawsuits of the plunderers of tombs (year 16/17); the culprits underwent the torture by impalement. A survey carried out by Passing, mayor of the oriental party of Thèbes showed Paweraa, mayor of the Western part of Thèbes, to be the instigator of this wave of plunderings by organized bands. However, no official inculpation was never marked for these crimes against Paweraa and, according to the Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley, Paser disappears without leaving of trace as soon as it had submitted his report of investigation. Plunderings will take again under the reign of Ramsès {{XI}}.

During its reign the priests of Amon increased their capacity and the large priests with Thèbes are in the chronological order: Ramsesnakht, Nesamon and Amenhotep.

Constructions

The activity of construction of Ramsès is illustrated by its vast tomb in the Vallée of the Kings, length a 86 meters and the monuments with Héliopolis (statues, sacrificial table, gantries), with Memphis (steles, fragments, burial of Apis), with Karnak (decoration of the wall and the gantry giving on the court to the north of the seventh pylon, stele, inscription on the distinction of the large Amenhotep priest). Objects of reduced size and its cartridges find with Médinet Habou, in Amara-West, Dakla, Antinoë and Gezer in Palestine.
