Needless to say, he is the greatest in Egyptian history-Ramses II
Among the many civilizations, apart from my Greater China, few have left an indelible mark in history like Egypt. Across the wide Nile River, the Egyptian civilization has existed for 5000 years and is one of the oldest civilizations on earth, second only to the Cathaysian civilization. Among the many pioneers, Egypt is believed to have been invented around 3000 BC Word. Using complex mathematics, Egyptian scholars accurately described the trajectory of the planets. Of course, the Egyptians were still the greatest architects in the ancient world, and the monuments and temples they built still amaze and inspire us today.
Speaking of Egypt, Ramses II has to be mentioned, he is Egypt's greatest and most powerful pharaoh. He took the throne at the age of 20 and ruled for more than 60 years. Ramses was also a great military leader and outstanding builder. He built the splendid new capital city of Ramses. Some historians also believe that Ramses is the pharaoh of Moses in the Exodus in the biblical story.
Ramses' father Seth I spent a lot of time conquering the rebellious provinces in Asia and gradually restoring Egypt's power and prestige. On the basis of controlling Asia Minor, the West Taiwanese are expanding their power to the south. These two great civilizations have launched a long-term battle for the control of Syria and Palestine. The young Ramses went on an expedition with his father. When he was 10 years old, Ramses became an officer. This is to some extent a coming-of-age ceremony, meaning that he started at a very young age. Receive military training. When his father died, 20-year-old Ramses wore the crown of Egypt.
Four years later, Ramses led a force northward to capture several rebellious provinces that his father could not conquer. The battle was very successful, and the army fought all the way to Beirut. In the next few years, Ramses attacked the West Taiwanese fortress in Kadish. The Battle of Kadish is one of the few ancient battles recorded. Ramses thought that the fortress had been abandoned, and moved forward lightly. As a result, he hid behind the fort and was ambushed by a large number of Western Taiwanese chariots. Although Ramses won the battle by a narrow margin, his troops were already very weak, which forced him to withdraw to Egypt and leave the fortress to the West Taiwanese. The war between Ramses and the West Taiwanese continued for nearly 13 years. He won many victories, but he could not keep those lands for a long time. In addition to having wars with the West Taiwanese, Ramses also had frictions with the Nubians and Syrians. He extended Egypt's territory to the west and south a lot. But these enemies are not a big threat to Egypt's survival.

In the 21st year of Ramses' rule, he suddenly realized that endless wars were meaningless. He reached an armistice agreement with the West Taiwanese, which was the earliest recorded international agreement in history. Interestingly, there are two versions of this agreement: the Egyptian version says that the West Taiwanese requested a truce; and the West Taiwanese version says that the Egyptians requested a truce. This agreement stabilized the two powerful forces. During the rule of Ramses, there was indeed no war with the West Taiwanese. Ramses moved the capital from Thebes north to the Nile Delta during his reign, and named it the "City of Ramses". The new location is close to his hometown, but more importantly, it is very close to the troubled northern provinces and the dangerous border of West Taiwan. In just a few years, the once quiet village became the political and military center of the country. The city is composed of beautiful palaces and many temples, as well as numerous statues and decorations. The city of Ramses was abandoned after Ramses. The location has been uncertain for many centuries, but archaeologists have recently discovered the remains of this ancient city.
Ramses ruled Egypt as a pharaoh for 66 years and was the second longest-lived ruler in Egyptian history. He stabilized the borders of the empire and reached an armistice agreement with his important enemies. He paid great attention to the lives of his people and spent a lot of money on the construction of public facilities. He was undisputedly revered by later Egyptians as the greatest pharaoh in history.
