The
most celebrated of all Pharaohs, or kings, Ramses II, is well known for the
length of his reign, the numerous temples he built and his military campaigns,
such as the battle of Kadesh. Here Ramses II, facing the army of Muwattali,
King of the Hittites, found himself surrounded by 2500 Hittite Charioteers with
only his personal bodyguard to help him. As the enemy closed in around him,
Pharaoh leaped into his chariot, tied the reins around his waist to leave his
hands free, sent forth a great cry for help to Amun and charged six times
against the Hittites, finally breaking through and winning the battle.
Ramses
II was the son of Seti I and was crowned Pharaoh in 1290 B.C. when he was
18 years old. King Ramses II had many wives but the first and favorite chief Queen
was Nefertari. Ramses died at the age of 85 after ruling Egypt for 67 years.
