Ramses I, Ramses also spelled Ramesses or Rameses, (flourished 14th century bce), king of ancient Egypt (reigned 1292–90 bce), founder of the 19th dynasty (1292–1190 bce) of Egypt. The tomb is located in Luxor, Egypt.

The tomb of Ramesses I (also spelled Ramses I) has been reopened, after the completion of restoration work on its interior.
The reopening occurred during a tour in Luxor, on Saturday, undertaken by Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Khaled Al-Anani to the ancient Valley of the Kings on the western shore of the River Nile. The minister was accompanied by Mostafa Waziri, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.
Waziri said that the restoration work included conservation of the floors, the walls being cleaned of soot as well as bird and bat waste, and the restoration and cleaning of the existing inscriptions.

The tomb of Menpehtyre Ramesses I was the founding pharaoh of ancient Egypt's 19th Dynasty

The Ramesses I tomb was discovered in 1817 by Italian former showman turned archaeologist Giovanni Belzoni. The tomb is 29 metres long, with a short corridor that ends in a burial chamber containing a granite sarcophagus.

Among the most important scenes in the tomb can be found on the left wall of the burial chamber, where the view of the Book of Gates is shown. A further scene representing the king kneeling before the spirits of Nkhun, Bi and Hieraknopolis can also be viewed. The Pharaoh Ramses I mummy is on display at the Luxor Museum’s Hall of the Glory of Thebes.
