unusual facts about Twentieth Dynasty



KV18

Tomb KV18, located in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, was intended for the burial of Pharaoh Ramesses X of the Twentieth Dynasty; however, because it was apparently abandoned while still incomplete and since no funerary equipment has ever found there, it is uncertain whether it was actually used for his burial.

Setnakhte

Userkhaure-setepenre Setnakhte (or Setnakht) was the first Pharaoh (1189 BC1186 BC) of the Twentieth Dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt and the father of Ramesses III.
