"You will be the pride of Seti's glory, for your name will be..........Rameses." He said finally.

"Rameses.... His name is Rameses.... My son, my Egypt and my footstool." Tuya said with so much affection before kissing the forehead of her son, she couldn't help but touch his soft hair and soft delicate skin over and over again.
This very day of the prince's birth was a tremendous one Egypt could never forget. A day of Sethi's glory.
