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
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
Setna is a historical figure introduced in The Curse of the Pharaohs, a 2018 downloadable expansion for the 2017 video game Assassin's Creed: Origins. Historically, Khaemweset, later called Setna or Setne during the Hellenistic period, was the fourth and best known of Ramesses II's sons, and is described as "the first Egyptologist" for his efforts in identifying and restoring historic buildings, tombs, and temples through the kingdom. As a child, he received military training but later became the High Priest of Ptah in Memphis, where he participated in Sed festivals. He was proclaimed as the Crown Prince in his later years but sadly predeceased his father.[1]
