King Ramses Accomplishments

393 Words2 Pages

King Ramses the 2nd was known as the 'Keeper of Harmony and Balance, Strong in Right, Elect of Ra’. Ramses lived till he was 90, which was incredible long for that time period. King Ramses also had a very long dynasty and he was the third pharaoh in the 19th dynasty. Not only was Ramses known for lasting years and years he also helped Egypt with many architectural accomplishments.

King Ramses had many accomplishments but probably what he was the most known for his architectural achievements some example of what he has done is the Ramesseum which is a “memorial temple” that is located in Thebes. Ramses also built the temples of Abu Simbel which are two rock temples these temples are carved out of the mountainside they were made as a lasting …show more content…

That is incredible considering most pharaohs didn 't make it past 50. Pharaohs like Akhenaten early 30s, Tutankhamun 18,Siptah 16, Seti I 40, Smenkhkare 18-21, Hatshepsut 50, Amenhotep III mid 30s, and Thutmose III 54. King Ramses had ruled for exactly 66 years which is longer than all those pharaohs lived for.

King Ramses had a huge military impact for Egypt. King Ramses lead an enormous army for that time. Egypt 's army at that time was 100,000 people strong and with that army he conquered many people that had taken Egypt land from previous pharaohs. Ramses managed to fend off full force attacks from the Hittites and Nubian 's. Ramses restored Egypt to what it had been before and made peace treaties that they had been at war with for years. Ramses was able to do all of this military impact in his first 20 years as pharaoh.

From this, we can conclude that King Ramses the ll was indeed a great man. Now why should you care? But what makes this statement special is that their are similarities in culture in with the Egyptians and modern day culture. From these we can conclude that the Egypt 's idea for a great man doesn’t just apply to Egypt, it shows that they thought of something in human nature that anyone could

    Akhenaten or Amenhotep IV made some radical changes to the Egyptian Empire during the 18th Dynasty. Many modern historians see him as quite significant for his time because of his revolutionary views on changing the Capitol from Thebes, his new artistic style and his change to the religion. However, for his time, there is evidence that his radical change was not fully supported in the kingdom and that because he didn’t have the support, his legacy died with him along with his lineage and name. Although he was a significant person, his foreign affairs was damaging due to Akhenaten neglecting his duties.

    After Nefertari, Ramesses married Istnofret and, after her death, his daughters became his consorts. Even so, the memory of Nefertari seems to have always been close in his mind in that Ramesses had her likeness engraved on walls and statuary long after he had taken other wives. Although Ramesses has been popularly associated with the 'pharaoh’ of the Biblical Book of Exodus, there is absolutely no evidence to support this claim. Extensive archaeological excavations at Giza and elsewhere throughout Egypt have unearthed ample evidence that the building projects undertaken under the reign of Ramesses II (and others, for that matter) used skilled and unskilled Egyptian laborers who were either paid for their time or who volunteered as part of
