In 1842, the Bohemian nobleman Josef Xaver Count Wratislaw von Mitrowitz carved a visitor’s graffito on a column in the rear part of the Ramesseum. The graffito, numbered RDK 1601, gives the family name ‘Wratislaw’ and the year of the visit ‘1842’ and relates to his visit to the funerary temple on 2 April 1842.
