Cine s-a căsătorit cu Seti I?

Seti I a fost cel de-al doilea faraon al dinastiei a XIX-a a Egiptului, fiul lui Ramses I. Într-o campanie în Asia, Seti a condus în luptă trei divizii, însumând fiecare un număr de 60.000 de soldați. El a reocupat garnizoanele și orașele aflate în teritoriul Siriei și a readus Damascul sub control egiptean. De asemenea a încheiat o reconciliere cu regele hitit care a devenit între timp conducătorul unuia dintre cele mai puternice popoare din acea zonă. Seti I, împreună cu urmașul său Ramses al II-lea, au luptat în bătălia de la Kadesh. În templul de la Karnak el a dus la bun sfârșit dorința tatălui său de a transforma curtea dintre pilonul al doilea și al treilea într-o sală hypo.

Numele „Seti” înseamnă „al lui Set”, ceea ce indică faptul că a fost consacrat zeului Set (numit și „Sutekh” sau „Seth”). Ca și în cazul majorității faraonilor, Seti avea mai multe nume. La ascensiune, el a luat prenomenul "mn-m3't-r' ", vocalizat de obicei în egipteană ca Menmaatre (Eternă este dreptatea lui Re). Mai cunoscutul său nomen, sau numele de naștere, este transliterat ca „sty mry-n-ptḥ” sau Sety Merenptah, adică „Omul din Set, iubit de Ptah”. Manetho l-a considerat în mod incorect a fi fondatorul celei de-a XIX-a dinastii și i-a oferit o durată de domnie de 55 de ani, deși nu s-a găsit vreo dovadă pentru o domnie atât de lungă.

Tanedjemet or more accurately Tanedjemy or Tanodjmy (tꜣnḏmy) is a King's Daughter (sꜣt-nsw), King's Wife (ḥmt-nsw), and Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt (ḥnwt šmʿw tꜣ-mḥw) from the New Kingdom period, only known from her tomb in the Valley of the Queens. While her identity and connections are unstated by any surviving sources, the circumstantial evidence has been interpreted to show that she was almost certainly a wife of Seti I and probably a daughter of Horemheb.

Tuya (also called Tuy or more rarely Mut-Tuya or Muty; in transliteration from hieroglyphic, Twy, Twjȝ, or Twyȝ, as well as Mwt-Twjȝ,; in cuneiform texts from the Hittite correspondence, Tūya, ^SALTu-u-ia.) was the wife of Pharaoh Seti I of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt and mother of Tia, Ramesses II, and possibly Henutmire.

She was the daughter of Raia (Rʿjȝ), Lieutenant in the Chariotry, by his wife Ruya or Tuya (the name is partly broken: [R/T]wjȝ). Seti I and Tuya's daughter Tia (Ṯjȝ) was married to a high-ranking civil servant who was also called Tia (Ṯjȝ), the son of Amenwahsu (Jmn-wȝḥ-sw). The vast majority of Tuya's attestations as queen date to the reign of her son, making it less than completely certain that she bore the title of King's Great Wife during the reign of her husband. On the other hand, as mother of king's only known son, she might well have become Seti's chief queen, unlike another spouse, the royal daughter Tanodjmy.

As the mother of Ramesses II, Tuya enjoyed a privileged existence of a respected king's mother. Ramesses dedicated a monumental structure within his mortuary temple, the Ramesseum, to his mother, and also constructed a fine new tomb for her in the section of the Valley of the Queens that he developed for the burials of the women in his family. Following the peace treaty between Egypt and Hatti in Year 21 of Ramesses II (1259 BC according to the "Low Chronology"), Tuya sent congratulatory letters to the Hittite great king Ḫattušili III and to his queen Puduḫepa, who she addressed as her symbolic "brother" and "sister", respectively. However, by the time of the inauguration of Ramesses II's temple at Abu Simbel in Year 24 (1256 BC), Tuya appears to have been dead.
