Khaemweset (c. 1285 BCE – c. 1225 BCE), also called Setna, was a son of the Nineteenth Dynasty pharaoh Ramesses II.[1] In 38 BCE, while the Egyptian Hidden One Bayek of Siwa searched for a way to lift the Curse of the Pharaohs that plagued Thebes, he entered a simulation where he appeared to enter Heb Sed and met Setna's ba, which roamed the land in an attempt to appease his father's spirit.
Post-mortem[edit | edit source]
As one of Ramesses' many sons, even after death, Setna found himself pressured to follow in his father's footsteps and become a warrior. When Bayek visited his ba in 38 BCE, Setna was preparing for a series of challenges laid out for him. Revealing to Bayek that he sought to be a poet rather than a warrior, Setna agreed to let the Hidden One complete the challenges on his behalf so that he might confront Ramesses with his post-death choices. After Bayek beat the trials, Setna confronted his father and proclaimed his intention to become a poet. At this, Ramesses acquiesced and granted his son's ba leave of Heb Sed.[2]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
