Ramses the Second, or the Great, is the Pharaoh who is considered by millions, in fact, for years, as the biblical Pharaoh who chased the Israelites during the Exodus.
Ramses II—the Egyptian pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty—reigned from around 1279 B.C. to 1213 B.C. Son of Seti I, during the first years of his reign, tried to reconquer the territories in Africa and Asia Minor, battling the Hittites, against whom he conducted a long war. The most important battle was fought in 1296 B.C. near Qadesh, in northern Syria; since neither army obtained a definitive victory, a treaty was signed that allowed the division of the disputed territories and the conclusion of a marriage between Ramses and the daughter of the Hittite king.
Ramses the Second was the third pharaoh of the 19th dynasty of Egypt. He is often regarded as the most celebrated and most powerful pharaoh in the New Kingdom. His successors and Egyptians later called him the "Great King.".
He is assumed to have ascended the throne in his late youth. Manetho (a great historian who classified the history of Egypt into 3 stages, the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom, interrupted by three periods, the 1st intermediate period, the 2nd intermediate period, and the 3rd intermediate period, throughout the 30 dynasties) connects Ramses II to a period of 66 years of ruling Egypt in prosperity.
Ramses II ruled Egypt for an unusual duration, that too towards the latter part of his youth, for a period of 66 years on the throne. Manetho, the historian, divided Egypt's history into three main stages—the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom—separated by transition phases. The long reign of Ramses II, therefore, allowed Egyptologists to refer to the entire duration of the dynasty as the Ramesside Period.
