Ramesses VI Nebmaatre-Meryamun (also written Ramses and Rameses) was the fifth ruler of the Twentieth dynasty of Egypt who reigned from 1145 BC to 1137 BC and a son of Ramesses III by Iset Ta-Hemdjert. His royal tomb, KV9, is located near Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Ramesses' prenomen or royal name was Nebmaatre-meryamun meaning "Lord of Justice is Re, Beloved of Amun" while his royal epithet—Amunherkhepshef Netjer-heqa-iunu—translates as "Amun is his Strength, God Ruler of Heliopolis.〔Peter Clayton, Chronicle of the Pharaohs, Thames & Hudson Ltd, (1994), p.167〕 ==Reign length== The first to establish beyond doubt that Ramesses VI lived into his 8th Regnal Year was the Dutch Egyptologist Jac. J. Janssen. He based this on Ostracon IFAO 1425, which mentions the loan of an ox in year 8 of a king which can only have been Ramesses VI.〔Janssen, GM 29 (1978), 45-46〕 His 8th Regnal Year also seems to be attested in Theban graffito 1860a, which names the then serving High Priest of Amun, Ramessesnakht. In the past, this graffito has been ascribed to Ramesses X,〔Bierbrier, JEA 58 (1972), 195-199.〕 but this interpretation has been abandoned and its ascription to Ramesses VI seems by far the best solution.〔L. Bell, Serapis 6 (1980), pp.7-16〕 Raphael Ventura's interesting reconstruction of a damaged sum in ''Turin Papyrus 1907+1908'', also seems to suggest that Ramesses VI enjoyed a reign of 8 full years.〔Raphael Ventura, More Chronological Evidence from Turin Papyrus Cat.1907+1908, JNES 42, No.4 (1983), pp.271-277〕〔Clayton, p.168〕 The latest scholarly publication on Egyptian chronology in 2006 also assigned Ramesses VI 8 years of rule, based on the aforementioned sources.〔Erik Hornung, Rolf Krauss & David Warburton (editors), Handbook of Ancient Egyptian Chronology (Handbook of Oriental Studies), Brill: 2006, p.475〕 Ramesses VI probably lived for two months into his brief 9th regnal year before he died and was succeeded by his son, Ramesses VII. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ramesses VI」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
