Ramesses XII

Usermaatre-heqawast Rameses-mereramun (Egyptian wsr-mȝʿt-rʿ ḥqȝ-wȝst sȝ-rʿ rʿ-ms-s mrr-jmn) is an obscure pharaoh tentatively placed at the end of the Twentieth Dynasty, in possibly c. 1075–1068 BC. The royal name is unquestionably attested as such in a single known inscription, Wadi Hammamat text 22, but although associated by several scholars with the well-known Ramesses II, it appears to designate a distinct king who might belong in the obscure period of transition between the Twentieth and Twenty-first Dynasties.
