Marston's Pi-Ramesses, My Hero

202 Words1 Pages
Over the centuries people have remembered me for the grand, imposing buildings and statues constructed to record my achievements as a warrior, administrator and protector of my people. During my long reign as Pharaoh, I had become the legendary figure I was destined to be and left behind a great legacy as the builder of the countless monuments built in Egypt including my capital city, Pi-Ramesses. I built on an enormous scale to ensure my legacy would last the ravages of time. Marston correctly states that eight more Pharaoh’s took my name although the glory of my name was lost under their rule. It was devastating to watch my government come to an end and my empire that I spent decades building and creating had been lost, (Marston, 1996, p.14).
