Ramses life remain a mystery but he always recorded his big achievements. Ramses II was on the Egyptian throne for 67 years. Over all those years it was mostly quite and peaceful. Also over his reign in ancient Egypt Ramses became known for his great construction "He was the most prolific builder of any age" . Ramses had a hard childhood he was given great responsibilities and great honors and by the age of ten Ramses was captain of the army. By 1920 BC Ramses, just like many new kings spent the first few years visiting his kingdom and all the territories to see where the troubled areas are.

They are carvings are about life in the next world and also about Ramses conquers on earth. 700 acres of land, 81,000 slaves, 400,000 heads of cattle, and 83 ships. Ramses attacked pushing the groups into the riverbank.

Ramses secured Egypt from his marriage with power and wealth.
