10. Seti I: The Unrelenting Conqueror
Seti I led violent raids into Canaan, Nubia, and Syria, seeking to reassert Egypt’s power through siege and suppression. His drive for absolute control led to widespread suffering among conquered peoples. His campaigns were marked by brutal sieges, the suppression of uprisings, and the forceful subjugation of local rulers who dared to resist Egyptian authority. In these wars, entire cities were devastated, populations were slaughtered or enslaved, and survivors often faced harsh reprisals as a warning to others (en.wikipedia.org).
