Ramses II: The Most Powerful Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781508174899)

The name Ramses II evokes the epitome of ancient Egypt. But why was he the final ruler of the New Kingdom? And what was it that made him pursue peace when such treaties didn't exist? The life of Ramses II offers some particularly unique intrigues that appear in his many campaigns throughout the ancient world. Santillian and van Basten offer an expansive account of the many contributions Ramses II offered in his unusually long and active life, including leaving a legacy of being ancient Egypt's most prolific builder of monuments and temples, as he outlived most of his would-be heirs.
