Levant Asiatic bloodline successfully gave rise to the nineteenth dynasty<br />

of Seti I.<br />

A surprising outcome of this lineage of kings and queens is that<br />

these facts perhaps reveal the identity of Moses. 372 Furthermore, this<br />

theory supports an Exodus at the time claimed by Manetho and Josephus.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sem Priest at the time of Ramses II (Ra Meses II) was Kha<br />

Em Uset, the fourth Crown Prince of Ramses II. He was a great restorer<br />

of monuments and erected the four hundred year stele mentioned<br />

previously, celebrating the king's first Jubilee in his thirtieth year (about<br />

1249BCE). Kha Em Uset continued to celebrate the Jubilees until he<br />

died in 1230BCE. At his second Jubilee, Kha Em Uset built a special<br />

Jubilee temple at Memphis. This marked his position as High Priest of<br />

Ptah and keeper of the Apis Bull. This funerary temple for the Apis Bull,<br />

known as the Serapeum, was at Sakkara, just West of Memphis. With<br />

new economy, the series of tombs for the Bulls at the Serapeum ended the<br />

practice of separate tombs and Temples for each bull.<br />

Kha Em Uset’s name was visible to the notaries on the<br />

Serapeum’s Museum Notice, right down to third century CE when the<br />

practice of burying bulls ceased. From this a demotic romance of <strong>The</strong><br />

Third Intermediate Period/Late Period, called the Setne Cycle, developed<br />

with Kha Em Uset as its subject. It tells of the tomb work carried out by<br />

Setne Khamwas and the tales of wonder of his magical son Si-Osiris, who<br />

defeated the Nubian magicians before his grandfather Ramses II, only to<br />

vanish from the court. His father grieved until another son called User<br />

Mont Hor was born.<br />

Crown Prince Kha Em Uset’s first son was also Ra Meses.<br />

Although he grew to an age where he could accept the office of High<br />

Priest of Ptah from his father, he did not do so for reasons we will<br />

examine. <strong>The</strong>se offices, along with others due to him, passed to the<br />

second son called Hori. Hori then became the important Vizier of the<br />

North and later of <strong>The</strong>bes.<br />

However, details of Kha Em Uset’s first son, Ra Meses, still<br />

exist. <strong>The</strong>se include his estate, the name of his scribe (Hui) and some<br />

correspondence conveyed by the captain of his barge.<br />

An unnamed person who seems to be Ra Meses tried to obtain<br />

land in Per Ramesses, the new capital in the delta, by altering Temple<br />

records. <strong>The</strong> Chief Accountant of the Temple of Ptah in Memphis, Mose,<br />

inscribed the story in his tomb. 373 <strong>The</strong> cult of this great man regularly<br />

made offerings to him at the tomb. <strong>The</strong>re they read of the one hundred<br />
