Biography and accomplishments or why
Ramses V
was famous: During his reign the power of the Pharaoh continued to
decrease with the increase in the power of the wealthy priesthood of
Amun which controlled the temple land, food supplies and state finances.
The country, especially Thebes, was subject to attacks from Syrian
raiders and these seriously affected the security of tombs and the tomb
builders. The raiders "burnt people", a frightening and terrible death
for the Ancient Egyptians as this prevented them entering the Afterlife.
