Pictured here is Ramses II in life, and opposite in death. Ramses II was the iconic pharaoh of Egypt who ruled from 1279 to 1213 BC. Known to the Greeks as Ozymandias, he ruled Egypt for 66 years, dying when he was approximately 92 years old. Ramses II led successful military campaigns against the Hittites, Nubians, and Libyans, which helped secure Egypt's borders and expanded its territory. The most famous battle was the Battle of Kadesh, which resulted in the world's first known peace treaty. His mummy, shown opposite, was found in the great cache of royal mummies at Deir el-Bahari in 1881 .
