Ramses II sculpture Pharaoh of Egypt
Ramses II called "The Great", earned
that accolade by doing things on a grand
scale with enormous gusto. In an
opulent 67-year reign he waged an
extravagant war against a coalition of
Asian states led by the Hittites, sired
more than 100 children, and erected
Egypt's biggest and showiest buildings.
Among his monuments were two huge
temples cut into the cliffs at Abu Simbel.
He entered into diplomatic negotiations
with Hittites, with whom he signed one
of the first recorded treaties in history.
He campaigned in Syria and Palestine
and raided into the south. Ramses was
truly a king of kings.
