Hero - Ramses II

Ramses II was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Also known as Ramses the Great, he ruled for 50 years as Egypt's longest ruler. During his reign, Egypt was at its most prosperous.

In his youth, Ramses followed his father into war as a military general. After he was pharaoh, he built many infrastructure like temples and memorials for his people. Ramses II also began to aggressively expand his territory, invading the Levant and conducting many campaigns in Nubia and Syria.

In 1274, Ramses' troops fought Hattie forces in the Battle of Kadesh in a prolonged siege of 12 years. It lasted until 1258, when the new King, Hattusili III, brokered a peace treaty with Ramses II.
