Bust of Ramses II | |
|
Egyptian Museum,
Turin, Italy. Dynasty
19th 1250 B.C.
The most celebrated
of all Pharaohs,
Ramses II, is well
known for the length
of his reign, the
numerous temples he
built and his
military campaigns,
such as the battle of
Kadesh where Ramses
II, facing the army
of Muwattali, King of
the Hittites found
himself surrounded by
2500 Hittite
Charioteers with only
his personal
bodyguard to help
him. As the enemy
closed in around him,
Pharaoh leaped into
his chariot, tied the
reins around his
waist to leave his
hands free, sent
forth a great cry for
help to Amun and
charged six times
against the Hittites,
finally breaking
through and winning
the battle. Ramses II
was the son of Seti I
and was crowned
Pharaoh in 1290 b.c.
when he was 18 years
old. Ramses II had
many wives but the
first and favorite
chief Queen was
Nefertari. Ramses
died at the age of 85
after ruling Egypt
for 67 years. This
bust from a seated
statue of Ramses II
is a portrait of the
young King in which
grace and grandeur
are intermixed.
