Ramses III (mar 9, 1192 BC – apr 30, 1161 BC)
Description:
DATING THE FALL OF BABYLON AND UR by Gerard GertouxThe reign of Ramses III began at I Shemu 26 year 1 (9 March 1192). This reconstruction also confirms the 2-year reign of the pharaoh Sethnakht because the duration of 3 years177 would imply a lunar date II Shemu 7 (April 1196), incompatible with that of II Shemu 27 from the graffito. This date 27 Shemu II Year 7 corresponds to 10 April in 1195 and actually coincides with a full moon.
