Pentaweret

Quartigod son of Ramesses III by his minor wife Tiye. The notorious "conspiracy-son" of the 1155 BCE harem conspiracy — his mother's plot to put him on the throne instead of his half-brother Amenherkhepshef (Ramesses IV) succeeded in mortally wounding the pharaoh but failed to alter the succession. Tried, condemned to suicide, and buried in a goatskin (ritual-impurity material) to deny him afterlife — identified in 2012 by CT scan as the "Unknown Man E" mummy with his name systematically erased. **Alive at 1172 BCE as a young man, 17 years before his execution.**
