1. ramesses the great

   Ramesses II (; Ancient Egyptian: rꜥ-ms-sw, rīʿa-məsī-sū, [ˈɾiːʕaʔ məˈsiːˌsuw]; c. 1303 BC – 1213 BC), commonly known as Ramesses the Great, was an Egyptian pharaoh. He was the third ruler of the Nineteenth Dynasty. Along with Thutmose III of the Eighteenth Dynasty, he is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, which itself was the most powerful period of ancient Egypt.In ancient Greek sources, he is called Ozymandias, derived from the first part of his Egyptian-language regnal name: Usermaatre Setepenre. Ramesses was also referred to as the "Great Ancestor" by successor pharaohs and the Egyptian people. At age fourteen, he was appointed as Egypt's prince regent by his father, Seti I. Today, most Egyptologists believe that Ramesses formally assumed the throne on 31 May 1279 BC, based on his known accession date: III Season of the Harvest, day 27.For the early part of his reign, he focused on building cities, temples, and monuments. After establishing the city of Pi-Ramesses in the Nile Delta, he designated it as Egypt's new capital and used it as the main staging point for his campaigns in Syria. Ramesses led several military expeditions into the Levant, where he reasserted Egyptian control over Canaan and Phoenicia; he also led a number of expeditions into Nubia, all commemorated in inscriptions at Beit el-Wali and Gerf Hussein. He celebrated an unprecedented thirteen or fourteen Sed festivals — more than any other pharaoh.Estimates of his age at death vary, though 90 or 91 is considered to be the most likely figure. Upon his death, he was buried in a tomb (KV7) in the Valley of the Kings; his body was later moved to the Royal Cache, where it was discovered by archaeologists in 1881. Ramesses' mummy is now on display at the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, located in the city of Cairo.

1. ramesses the great

   Ramesses the Great, also known as Ramesses II, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt who reigned between 1279–1213 BC. He is often regarded as one of the most powerful and effective pharaohs in ancient Egypt, and his reign was marked by extensive military campaigns, monumental building projects, and prosperous trade. His enduring architectural legacy includes the temples of Abu Simbel and the Ramesseum. Sometimes referred to as 'the Great Ancestor' by his descendants, Ramesses II is perhaps best known for the first known peace treaty, signed with the Hittites. He was also widely renowned for his longevity, ruling for 66 years and living into his nineties.
