Ramesses X

Ramesses X (also written Ramses and Rameses) Amonhirkhepeshef (ruled c. 1106 – 1102 BC) was the ninth ruler of the 20th dynasty of Ancient Egypt. It is unclear if his reign was 3 or 4 Years, but there is now a general concensus that it did not last as long as 9 Years.

Ramesses X is a poorly documented king. All that is really known about his kingship is that the disorder which became prevalent under his predecessors continued to grow under his reign. His Third Year is documented in a diary kept by a Workmen of Deir El Medina which speaks of Libyan marauders threatening the safety of the workers and idleness among the workmen. Ramesses X was the last king of Egypt whose rule over Nubia is attested and also the final king of the New Kingdom who was buried in the Valley of the Kings (in tomb KV18).
