Bog bodies, also known as bog people, are preserved human bodies found in sphagnum bogs. Under certain conditions, the acidity of the water, the cold temperature and the lack of oxygen combine to tan the body's skin - skeletal preservation is very rare in these bodies, as the acid in the soil is extremely damaging to bone. Some bog bodies have been dated at more than 10,000 years old. ...more on Wikipedia about "Bog body"

Ramesses II (also known as Ramesses the Great and alternatively transcribed as Ramses and Rameses) was an Egyptian pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty. He was born ca. 1302 BC and reigned from either 1279 BC to 1213 BC or 1290 BC to 1224 BC. He ruled for a total of 66 years and 2 months, becoming pharaoh in his early 20s. He was once said to have lived to be 99 years old, but it is more likely that he died in his ninetieth year.

Menmaatre Seti I was a Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt ( Nineteenth dynasty of Egypt), the son of Ramesses I and Queen Sitre, and the father of Ramesses II. According to some historians, he reigned between either 1294 BC or 1290 BC to 1279 BC or 1305/1302 BC to 1290 BC, depending on the chronological system used. The Ancient Egyptians counted time from a king's accession day as Year One of a Pharaoh's reign. When a Pharaoh died or fell from power, the following day immediatedly became Year number 1 of his successor's reign. To identify Seti I's Year 1 with a specific BC year, a chronologist must not only take into account the existing evidence from various sources, but which set of interpretations that he/she finds valid, so different chronologists and historians can have different views on the subject. ...more on Wikipedia about "Seti I"
Smenkhkare (sometimes spelled Smenkhare and Smenkare; meaning "Strong is the Soul of Ra") was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, successor of the heretic Akhenaten, and predecessor of Tutankhamun. He or she ruled Egypt for 2 Full Years from 1336 BC to 1334 BC according to evidence in Marc Gabolde's 1998 book "From Akhenaten to Tutankhamun." Tutankhamun's reign began immediately after Smenkare's reign. Smenkhkare may have become Akhenaten's co-regent for a few years before Akhenaten's death but he/she certainly ruled Egypt in his own right because a Year 3 date from his reign is attested within the Tomb of Pere, who was a minor Priest of Amun. This implies that after Akhenaten's death, Smenkare sought an accommodation with the Amunist factions in Egypt. ...more on Wikipedia about "Smenkhkare" Pure http://www.shortopedia.com.
