Ramesses II (known as Ramesses The Great and also known as Ozymandias in the Greek sources ) was the third Egyptian pharaoh of the Nineteenth dynasty. He is often regarded as Egypt's greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh. His successors and later Egyptians called him the "Great Ancestor." Today he is often believed to have been the Pharaoh of the Exodus.

Ramses II was said to have to made the most temples including: The Ramesseum, Karnak, and Abu Simbel. Also his cartouche was engraved so deep into the structures and monuments that no successor could erase it.

He was born around 1303 BC and at age fourteen, Ramesses was appointed Prince Regent by his father Seti I. He is believed to have taken the throne in his early 20s and to have ruled Egypt from 1279 BC to 1213 BC for a total of 66 years and 2 months, according to Manetho. He was once said to have lived to be 99 years old, but it is more likely that he died in his 90th or 91st year. If he became king in 1279 BC as most Egyptologists today believe, he would have assumed the throne on May 31, 1279 BC, based on his known accession date of III Shemu day 27. Ramesses II celebrated an unprecedented 14 sed festivals during his reign—more than any other pharaoh. On his death, he was buried in a tomb in the Valley of the Kings.

-----------0-----------

Ramese II is said to have been most likely Moses' nemesis in the book of Exodus. His life, which was over eighty years long ,makes him even more likely to have been the pharaoh in Exodus in the popular knowledge.

Moses returns to Egypt, and God instructs him to appear before the pharaoh and inform him of God's demand that he let God's people go. Moses and his brother Aaron do so, but the pharaoh refuses. God causes a series of plagues to strike Egypt, but the pharaoh does not relent. God instructs Moses to institute the Passover sacrifice among the Hebrews, and kills all the firstborn children and livestock throughout Egypt. The pharaoh then agrees to let the Hebrews go. Moses explains the meaning of the Passover: it is for Israel's salvation from Egypt, so that the Hebrews will not be required to sacrifice their own sons, but to redeem them.

a old draw, for arround june of 2008, for the biblical serie :)

This is an amaaaazing picture. Well it captures the concept of one of the most powerful of all Egyptian monarchs!

I'm a bit of a history fan myself, but check this out:
Solomon built the temple in Jerusalem around 1000 BCE (1034 exactly). The Bible says it was the 480th year from the Exodus from Egypt, which would put the Exodus a little over 200 years before Ramses' birth.

Pharaoh told Moses "I do not know Yahweh (Jehovah) at all!"

Inscriptions have been discovered in Egypt that mention the name of the Hebrews' god Yahweh that date to c.1400 BCE, a hundred years before Ramses II, so it would maybe have been strange for Ramses to say he didn't know their God had the name Yahweh been known in Egypt long before his time.

More recently, an inscription was found in Egypt that mentions 'Ishraer' or 'Israel' in a list of places in Canaan conquered by a Pharaoh in the 1400s BCE, similar to an inscription made by Ramses' successor Merneftah where Israel is spelled a little differently.

So if Israel was settled already in Canaan by the 1400s BCE...and in view of the Bible's chronology and other discoveries, it seems impossible for Ramses' to have lived near the time of Moses at all.

The misconception arose from where it says in the Bible that the Israelites built the store cities Pithom and Ramses in Egypt, so people automatically assumed it was one of the Ramessid kings that ruled at the time. However, the Bible never names the Pharaoh at the time of Moses. Ramses appears as a country in Egypt and a city name. It may well be the city was called Avaris at the time and Ramses II merely renamed it after himself, as many Pharaohs did.

Again- Cool drawing!
