Ramesses the Great, his Long Life and Rule of Ancient Egypt
Показать описание
Ramesses the Great (also known as Ramesses II, as well as the shorter form of his name Ramses) was the third Pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, and not only lived for 96 years but reigned for sixty-six of those years between 1279 and 1213 BCE in the period known as the New Kingdom of Egypt. It was during his reign that Egypt fought the Hittites in the Battle of Kadesh which resulted in the world’s first peace treaty. Upon his death, there was widespread panic since many of his people, who grew up while he was pharaoh and had never known another, worried that the world would end with the death of their king. Ramesses the Great had his accomplishments inscribed all throughout Egypt, and most ancient sites make mention of him and his achievements as king.
Ramesses began construction of a city near the city of Avaris that was so beautifully constructed it rivalled the magnificence of the Ancient Egyptian city of Thebes, and he named his great city Per-Ramesses, sometimes also called Pi-Ramesses or House of Ramesses. Ramesses built hundreds of temples, monuments, and buildings during his time as king including the vast tomb complex, the Ramesseum, at Thebes, the temples at Abu Simbel, the complex at Abydos, and the great hall at Karnak, just to mention a few monumental highlights which led his reign to be considered by many historians as the pinnacle of Egyptian art and culture. Nefertari, Ramesses first wife and favourite queen, appears on numerous temple walls and in statuary from Ramesses’ reign, and the decoration and construction of her tomb was a work of art, despite the queen seemingly having died quite early in their marriage (perhaps in childbirth).
