Okay so I saw this thing on the National Geographic Channel about the mummy of Ramses being found in cheesey Canadian and US "freak" museums. But when I search the internet about it, all I get is Ramses II. Was there a Ramses I, or is Ramses II who was in the museums? Thanks!

U.S. Museum to Return Ramses I Mummy to Egypt

"A 3,000-year-old mummy that many scholars believe is ancient Egypt's King Ramses I is the star attraction of an exhibit at the Michael C. Carlos Museum in Atlanta that will run from April 26 to September 14.

How the mummy came to reside in North America for 140 years, and wound up in Atlanta, is a tale that includes the collapse of law and order in ancient Egypt, grave robbers, stolen antiquities, a two-headed calf and a five-legged pig, the wonders of modern science, and an international gesture of good will.

The royal mummy will make its final journey home this fall, part of a gift from the people of Atlanta to the people of Egypt. Tuesday, museum officials presented Zahi Hawass, general director of Egypt's Supreme Council on Antiquities, with four fragments of painted limestone relief that are part of the tomb of Seti I, son and successor of Ramses I."
