Horemheb (sometimes spelled
Horemhab or
Haremhab and meaning
Horus is in Jubilation) was the last
pharaoh of the
18th Dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from either 1319 BC to late 1292 BC, or 1306 to late 1292 BC (since he ruled for 14 years) although he was not related to the preceding royal family and is believed to have been of common birth.
