Sethi I was Amenophis

El-REB,

Yes, Sethi I had another name: Merneptah. His name also appears as "Sethi-Merneptah" in inscriptions. The name Merneptah has the spelling of "Amenophis" in Manetho's account (and as "Amenophat" in Africanus, which is a trasliteration of "Amenephetes", a Greek form of "Merneptah"). I think that the pharaoh of Osarseph (named Amenophis by Manetho) is not Amenhotep III but Sethi-Merneptah I.

If Sethi I was the father of Ramses II, who do you think that his mother was?
