More about Ramesses the Great
| Ramesses II | Known as Ramesses the Great. Reigned for 66 years as Pharaoh, fathered over 100 children. Outlived many of his sons. Built more statues of himself than any other Pharaoh. More info... |
| Nefertari | Queen of Ramesses II. Major political influence and much loved by the King. He decorated the second temple at Abu Simbel with colossal statues of her. He built the most beautiful tomb in the Valley of the Queens for Nefertari. More info... |
| Abu Simbel | Ramesses II understood the power of grand display in holding his subjects in check and subduing his enemy. The Temple of Abu Simbel is carved from a mountain, far up the Nile. To come to Egypt by boat from Nubia, you must pass in front of four colossal seated statues of Ramesses. They would have, and still do, inspire awe and tell the world of the power, wealth and might of Ramesses the Great. More info... |
| Ramesseum | The Mortuary Temple of Ramesses II . When the Luxor Pharaohs buried their Kings in the Valley of the King, the tombs were to be hidden. However, from earliest times a Pharaoh had a temple where they were worshipped after their death. The Luxor Kings built their mortuary temples on the West Bank, outside the Valley of the Kings. The Ramesseum is a famous tourist stop, and Ramesses the Great still enjoys the pilgrims who glorify his name. More info... |
| Hittites | Traditional enemy of Egypt. Their territorial borders were located above the modern countries of Jordan and Syria. In ancient times Egypt ruled most of the present day Gaza, Lebanon and Israel. Ramesses fought the Hittites at Kadesh and after what must have been a draw, they signed a peace treaty. Copies of the Peace Treaty were carved in the walls of Karnak and other temples and were displayed in the capital of the Hittites. |
| Kadesh | Despite the probable outcome of the Battle of Kadesh, Ramesses declared it his great victory, carving victorious battle scenes at the Ramesseum, Abu Simbel, Karnak and anywhere there was a blank wall. The most famous carvings are inside the two temples of Abu Simbel. More info... |
| Valley of the Kings | Ramesses II had a tomb constructed in the Valley of the Kings. His tomb is KV7 and its decoration is still mostly complete, although it has been open since antiquity. Recently rediscovered and excavated was another tomb he had built, KV5. KV5 was built to bury his many sons who died before him, and perhaps his daughters, as well. Kent Weeks is the excavator of KV5, and has discovered a tomb with many branches and side rooms, presumably each room is the burial site of one of Ramesses sons. |
| Merneptah | Merneptah was the surviving son of Ramesses who followed him to be Pharaoh. |
| Mummy Room | The mummy of Ramesses II was discovered in the Deir el Bahri cache in the late 1800's. It was transported to Cairo and is currently displayed in the new Mummy Room at the Egyptian Museum. A colossal statue of Ramesses that was once displayed at the train station has taken on the task of marking the spot for the new Grand Egyptian Museum, and was recently processed there. More info... |
| Pi Ramesses | The city of Pi Ramesses was built in the Delta near the Horus Road that ran up into Gaza and other northern territories. This city is connected in legend with the Exodus of the Jews, which is most probably associated with one of the Pharaohs who ruled after Ramesses the Great. |
| Seti | Seti I was the father of Ramesses II and the son of Ramesses I. Ramesses I was chosen from the ranks of the army by the Pharaoh Horemheb. Horemheb had no children to reign and he was the last of the advisors of Tutankhamun who had made themselves Pharaoh. Horemheb chose Ramesses I because he had a living son and grandson, and would therefore ensure political stability. He chose better than he knew, because while Ramesses I did not live long, his son Seti I was a mighty Pharaoh who ruled for 13 years and his grandson ruled for 66. More info... |
| 18 Dynasty | The Dynasties of Egypt are groupings of related Pharaohs. The longer periods of unified rule of both upper and lower Egypt have distinct names and usually contain more than one dynasty. More info... |
| Colossus | I much larger than life statue of a human .Ramesses II was particularly fond of the colossus statue. His are the statues that stand in front of the Luxor Temple, and the seated colossi at Abu Simbel certainly qualify as larger than life. More info... |
| Meritamun | Meritamun was a daughter of Ramesses II and may have served as Chief Wife of Amun. She is shown standing beside the leg of Ramesses II in the first courtyard of Karnak. More info... |
| New Kingdom | One of the periods of unified rule of upper and lower Egypt. To learn more about these periods see Suzie Manley's Backtrack Egypt. More info... |
