Twosret (" Tawosret , Tausret ", d . 1189 BC conventional chronology ) was the last known ruler and the final Pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of ___MASK44___ . She is recorded in Manetho ' s Epitome as a certain " Thuoris , who in Homer is called Polybus , husband of Alcandara , and in whose time Troy was taken ". She was said to have ruled ___MASK44___ for seven years , but this figure included the nearly six - year reign of Siptah , her predecessor . Twosret simply assumed Siptah ' s regnal years as her own . While her sole independent reign would have lasted for perhaps one to one - and a half full years from 1191 to 1189 BC , this number now appears more likely to be two full years instead , possibly longer . Excavation work by the University of Arizona Egyptian Expedition on her memorial temple (" temple of millions of years ") at Gournah strongly suggests that it was completed and functional during her reign and that Twosret started a regnal year 9 , which means that she had two and possibly three independent years of rule , once one deducts the nearly six - year reign of Siptah . Her royal name , Sitre Meryamun , means " Daughter of Re , beloved of Amun ." Tomb KV14 is a joint tomb , used originally by Twosret and then reused and extended by Setnakhte . It has been open since antiquity , but was not properly recorded until Hartwig Altenmüller excavated it from 1983 to 1987 . Located in the main body of the Valley of the Kings , it has two burial chambers , the later extensions making the tomb one of the largest of the Royal Tombs , at over 112 metres . The original decoration showing the female Twosret was replaced with those of the male Setnakhte . Even later , the name of Setnakte was replaced by those of Seti II .

Both Seti II and Amenmesse have been suggested although the fact that that Siptah later changed his royal name or nomen to Merneptah Siptah after his Year 2 suggests rather than his father was Merneptah . If correct , this would make Siptah and Seti II half - brothers since both of them were sons of Merneptah . Usimare Ramesses III ( also written Ramses and Rameses ) was the second Pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty and is considered to be the last New Kingdom king to wield any substantial authority over ___MASK44___ .
