Abstract

Ramesses II was the first ruler of the ‎‎19th Dynasty. ‎Called Ramesses the Great, he lived to be ‎‎96 years old, had 200 wives and ‎concubines, 96 sons and 60 daughters.‎ Ramesses was named co-ruler with his ‎father, Seti I, early in his life. ‎During 67 year reign, everything was ‎done on a grand scale. No other pharaoh ‎constructed so many temples or erected ‎so many colossal statues and obelisks. ‎No other pharaoh sired so many children ‎as Ramesses II did. By the time he died, ‎aged more than 90, he had set his stamp ‎indelibly on the face of Egypt.‎ The great king was given the birth ‎name of his grandfather, Re-mise, or ‎Ramesses I (meryamun), which means, ‎‎"Re has Fashioned Him, Beloved of ‎Amun." We often find his birth name ‎spelled as Ramses. ‎There could be only one Chief King's ‎Wife at any one time, and Nefertari held ‎that designation from the beginning. ‎What we do know is that Ramesses II ‎lavished upon her at least several ‎important monuments, including the ‎small temple at Abu Simbel and her ‎wonderful tomb in the Valley of the ‎Queens.‎
