Effects of Ramses 1

Ramses I began to build the Great Hall of the Pillars in Karnak, which was completed by his son, Citi I. For his short reign, Ramses I was unable to leave any significant traces in Egypt. At the same time he ordered the construction of his tomb (No. 16) in the Valley of the Kings, but he died before it was completed, so his mother was buried in one of the front rooms of his tomb. He found in his tomb a manuscript called the Book of Doors one of the parts of the book of death, and this manuscript is important as it gives us an idea of the ancient Egyptian beliefs. There are few traces of King Ramesses I in Memphis and Heliopolis, as well as in the Temple of Ibn I City I in Abydos.
