The pharaoh that I chose was Ramses the II. Ramses the II was crowned to be pharaoh of egypt in 1279 B.C. Ramses the II was born on 1303 B.C then at the time of 1213 B.C he died. Ramses the II ruled egypt for sixty-seven years in total. Ramses the II was the third pharaoh in the nineteenth dynasty. When Ramses the II was the pharaoh he was sometimes called “the great”. The god that Ramses the II associated with was the god of Seth. Seth was the god of chaos.
Ramses the II said that he had won an epic victory against the Hittites at the big Battle of Kadesh. Ramses the II led the army of one-hundred thousand people and defeated the Hittites, Syrians, Libyans, and Nubians. At last Ramses the II’s tomb was the largest one ever built in that time of egypt.

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.
