Horemheb

Description: (Pharaoh)
Horemheb was the last pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, ruling for at least 14 years. Before becoming pharaoh, he served as the commander-in-chief of the army under Tutankhamun and Ay. Upon ascending the throne, he reformed the Egyptian state, taking official action against the Amarna rulers. Horemheb demolished monuments of Akhenaten, repurposing the rubble for his own projects, and claimed monuments of Tutankhamun and Ay. He appointed his vizier Paramesse as his successor, who became Ramesses I.
