Ancient Egyptian gold death mask of Prince Khaemweset, 1279-1213 BC, Serapeum of Saqqara. Louvre Museum. Prince Khaemweset ( Khamwese, Khaemwese or Khaemwaset or Setne Khamwas) was the fourth son of Ramesses II, who was born c. 1303 BCE; died July or August 1213 BCE; reigned 1279–1213 BCE, and the second son by his queen Isetnofret. His contributions to Egyptian society were remembered for centuries after his death. Khaemweset has been described as "the first Egyptologist" due to his efforts in identifying and restoring historic buildings, tombs and temples.
