Amon-herkhopsef (QV55)
One of the sons of Ramses 3, and supposed to be of Queen Titi. He was the halfbrother of Chaemwaset, who is buried nearby in QV44. He was heir to the thrown, and held titles like Royal Scribe and Chief of the Charioteers. Probably he died at young age and was not buried here in QV55, but in KV13, where a sarcophagus with his name was found in the tomb of Bay. As I told before at the tomb of Ramses 3, there is NO relation with Ramses 2, The Great, but Ramses 3 kust took the naam Ramses out of his admiration for Ramses 2. And it didnt stop there, because he also gave his childeren the names of Ramses the Greats offspring, making the chaos and confusion complete.
