The Seth-Name of Ramesses II

An Attestation from Baal’s Temple in Bahr el-Baqar

Abstract

The article describes a stela from the 11ᵗʰ year of Ramesses II found in the area of Bahr el-Baqar with a scene of the king presenting a captive to a god depicted in Asiatic iconography. The text below lists the royal names of the king in which the falcon sign of Horus has been replaced by the Seth animal. However, the significance of the stela is owed to the fact that it is the only Egyptian source till now that mentions a temple of the God Baal at the eastern borders of the Delta.
