Ramses II was a great Egyptian King. When he was very young, his father Sethi became the Pharaoh of Egypt. Later on, when he was around 10, young Ramses helped his father rule the country. By the time he was 20 years old, Ramses was a great soldier. In 1290 BCE, he became Pharaoh and leader of the Egyptian armies. He won many battles and every time he won, Ancient Egypt got more land and became bigger and more powerful. Temple of Ramses II One of the most famous battles was the Battle of Kadesh in 1279 BCE. Ramses won and became a hero. However, sixteen years later, Ramses made peace with his Hittite neighbors. He was the first ruler ever to sign a written peace treaty. Ramses liked building splendid monuments. His most famous temple is the one at Abu Simbel, where you can see four enormous statues of him at the entrance. Ramses II lived to be about 90 years old.
