Egypt

Remarkably, Raoul Ortiz Lafón's ancestors are traceable by way of his Arsacid dynastic lineage through from the Greco-Roman Period, into the Late Period, farther back to the Third Intermediate Period and finally to the XIX Dynasty of the New Kingdom, and to Commander Seti, great-grandfather of Pharaoh Ramesses II, whom infamously adopted Moses.

Ramesses II, his father Seti I, grandfather Ramesses I and great-grandfather Seti are the oldest traceable ancestors of Raoul Ortiz Lafón. Seti (or 'Suti') was an ancient Egyptian soldier during the late 18th Dynasty (14th century BCE), the commander of the army, later mentioned as vizier on monuments of his son, Pharaoh Ramesses I. Seti, the forefather of the 19th Dynasty, was from a military family in the Nile Delta.
