Ramesside Egypt:Everyday Life at Amara West
Context• Seti I year 8 (c. 1299 BC), pharaoh’s army led a
seven-day campaign against Nubians in Irem, located around six desert wells
• stela commemorating victory, set up at Amara West: ‘the foes of the foreign land of Irem are plotting rebellion’
• 4 men, 49 children, 66 servants and 420 cattle were seized
• Ramses II: further changes became evident in Lower Nubia with the construction of vast temples to proclaim pharaoh’s rule over Nubia
• less activity at the earlier Egyptian towns of Sesebi, Soleb and Sai
• Natural wealth of Nubia remained important: • Seti I commissioned a large stela to be carved
at Nauri detailing the produce and goods coming from Nubia for the benefit of the mortuary temple of the king at Abydos
