The wars of Seti I in the Land of Canaan and central Syria, 1291-1271 B.C.

The last third of the fourteenth century B.C., during the reign of Tutankhamen, Ay and Horemheb, saw Egypt hard-pressed to maintain her hold on Canaan. The political unrest in Egypt itself was resolved by the time Horemheb's successor, Ramesses I, had founded the nineteenth dynasty (1293 B.C.). The old Hyksos town of Avaris was revived as the new dynastic capital in the eastern delta under the name Pr-Ramesses, “House of Ramesses.” The energetic second pharaoh of this dynasty, Seti I, set out to reaffirm Egyptian control over Canaan and to challenge the Hittites for control of the Levant.
