Why Is Ramesses The Second So Important To Ancient Egypt?

572 Words3 Pages

I decorated the tomb the way I did because I believe that Ramesses the second was the best Pharaoh that ancient Egypt ever had. He believed that all of the people were important to him and that he would bring Egypt back to a better state. Ramesses the second ruled from c1279 to 1212. During this time he used diplomacy to build endless temples and tombs for the people of Egypt to use throughout the rest of eternity. He was allowed into the throne because of his family's military skills. His empire was in threat from the Hittites. Even though they were way more advanced than Egypt, Ramesses the second was able to overcome all of the challenges that other empires sent his way. Ramesses the second was worshiped as a God by many people and so I believe that he should be worshiped with many things such as gold and other valuable items. …show more content…

I decided to place these items into his burial place because without them, he would not have access to them in the afterlife. I think some of the gods that were incorporated into his tomb were Ra, Osiris, Anubis, and Thoth. I believe all four of these gods where very important in his life. Ra was the Son God, and many pharaohs worshiped him. Osiris was the son of Geb and Nut, and was honored as the God of the underworld or afterlife. Anubis was one of the most iconic gods in ancient Egypt. He is the protector of the dead, but he was originally the God of the underworld. He then became more associated with the embalming process and funeral

Statuettes, for example, this one where basic offerings to the divine beings in the late Egyptian world. Travelers regularly bought them from nearby sellers to leave as votives at religious locales.

The slaves were not a critical part in building the pyramids since workers who died building them had the honor of being buried near their pharaoh with bread and beer for their afterlives, nobody know how many slaves were helpers in the construction, and the working gangs that had been created had names like, “the Friends of Khufu.” Slaves are people who are forced to work against their will. First of all, the tombs of the workers have been found near the pyramids, with bread and beer for the worker’s afterlives. No slave would ever be bestowed the honor of being buried near their pharaoh, which was a sacred place. I found this evidence from Document C, where the text states, “Hawass said the builders came from poor Egyptian families from the north and south, and were respected for their work-so much that those who died during construction were bestowed the honor of being buried in the tombs near the sacred pyramids of their pharaohs.”

The pharaohs of the New Kingdom were the most powerful pharaohs of ancient Egypt because Ramses II was the most successful pharaoh, they gained control through conquest, and they developed relations. In Chapter 5, lesson 3 of “Discovering our Past: A History of our World” (our social studies textbook) it states “Ramses conquered the region of Canaan and moved north into Syria. To get this territory, he fought the Hittites”. This proves that Ramses II (also known as “Ramses the Great”), was very powerful, for the Hittites were smart and very hard to beat. “The Hittites were among the first people to master ironworking.

Akhenaten is regarded as one of the most unusual and the least known pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. One of the main reasons that Akhenaten is regarded as the most unusual was his introduction of monotheism and the god Aten. Scholars, historians, archaeologists, and most of the general public doesn't know a whole lot about Akhenaten because most references of his rule were destroyed at the end of his reign.
