One of the most famous and recognizable pharaohs (perhaps second only to Tutankhamun), Ramesses II is celebrated as the most successful and powerful of the Egyptian kings.
He led a large number of military campaigns to the north and south of the country, vastly increasing the size of the kingdom as he conquered new lands.
He reigned for 66 years and celebrated an unprecedented 14 Sed festivals. He was also a prolific builder, his monuments including the city of Pi-Ramesses.
