What made Ramses the II unique
I think what made Ramses the II unique was he ruled for sixty-seven years and he lived for about ninety years. I think it’s unique because people usually die of sickness and diseases. I think another thing is he signed the first known peace treaty in egypt. Ramses the II’s hair was dyed red so that means in his childhood he was a red head.

I think Ramses the II is a good pharaoh
I think Ramses the II is a good pharaoh because at least nine more pharaohs were named after him. It’s also because the egyptian empire got defeated in a century and a half after he died. That means that the empire needed him. When he was alive he was sometimes called “The great”.
