Pharaoh Ramses II
Ramses II is considered the greatest pharaoh from all of ancient Egypt’s history.
His father was pharaoh Sethi I and his mother was Queen Tuya.
He was named after his grandfather, Ramses I.
He ruled Egypt for sixty years, from 1279 BC until 1212 BC.
Ramses II was the only pharaoh to carry the title The Great after his name.
He had red hair - a trait considered lucky and powerful as it was associated with the god Seth.
Ramses II had an amazing ninety children; fifty-six boys and forty-four girls!
He had eight ‘official’ wives, along with over one hundred concubines.
Ramses II fought the battle of Kadeh against the Hittites. This is the oldest recorded battle in History, and despite Ramses only having 20,000 men against his opponent’s army of over 50,000 the battle was a stalemate - which was in fact seen as a huge success by the Egyptian people.
An alternative name for Ramses II is Ozymandias, which is a Greek translation of his throne name.
