| The longest-lived pharaoh of Egypt, married more than 20 wives, had more than 100 children, and did 5 great things |
Speaking of Pharaoh, everyone may think of Khufu, because there is a Pyramid of Khufu. In fact, there is such a pharaoh in Egypt who lived for more than 90 years and reigned for 67 years. He was more famous than Khufu. He was Ramses II and the longevity champion among the Egyptian pharaohs. Ramses was born in 1303 BC, ascended to the throne of Pharaoh in 1279 BC, and died in 1213 BC. In ancient Egypt, where medical treatment was extremely underdeveloped, it was a miracle that Ramses could live so long. Ramses not only lived a long life, but also did a lot of highly compelling things in his life, with many bright spots. Highlight 1: Battle of Kadeite Although Egypt was defeated in this battle, it played the power of Ramses. Many pharaohs in Egypt are good at fighting, and Ramses is no exception. Not only can he fight, he is also good at fighting protracted battles. As soon as Ramses ascended to the throne of the Pharaoh, Xitai, the powerful northern country, was crushed by troops. How can this be tolerated! Don't put my pharaoh in his eyes. Before the throne of Ramses was hot, he personally led a group of mummies, oh no, tens of thousands of Egyptian troops rushed to the front to resist foreign enemies. The two sides broke out fierce fighting in the Kadeshi area (now Syria). Ramses thought he was invincible, had serious thoughts of underestimating the enemy, and was almost destroyed by the enemy's tricks. The famous battle of Kadesh ended in Egypt's disastrous defeat. Ramses was so angry that he hit and died on the pyramid, but fortunately he was stopped by the minister. Despite this, Xitai suffered heavy casualties and no longer had the strength to attack Egypt. As an international war, the Battle of Kadesh played out the momentum of Egypt and made Ramses famous. Highlight 2: Signing an international treaty In the Battle of Kadesh, Egypt was a disastrous defeat, but Xitai did not take advantage. Ramses was a pharaoh who refused to admit defeat. He continued to lead the Egyptian army and fought with Xitai for 15 years, eventually regaining several cities and saving face. After decades of war, Egypt was already exhausted, so Ramses accepted it when he was good, and he sent people to West Taiwan to discuss a truce. Xitai was also crippled, and the neighboring Assyrian Empire was eyeing again. In addition, at this time, the king of Xitai, Hattusiris, was a pacifist and eagerly wanted to reconcile with Egypt. Therefore, in 1258 BC, the two sides signed a permanent military armistice treaty. This treaty is the world's first international military armistice treaty. It is a peace treaty and has brought peace to both parties for more than 100 years, and this treaty has been retained intact to this day. Interestingly, there are two versions of this treaty in Egyptian hieroglyphics and Western Akkadian language. Although they have similar meanings, they are not exactly the same. The main content of the treaty (the same parts in the two versions) is attached below. You can take a look at it for entertainment: 1. End the war between the two kingdoms and ensure permanent and peaceful relations. 2. The two kingdoms support each other defensively and protect them from attacks by other hostile kingdoms or rebel officials. Hattusiris III and Ramses II vowed to send troops and chariots to each other to defend each other from any enemy attack. 3. Ramses II sent all fugitives from Xitai back to their home country. Hattusiris III must do the same. 4. The two kings vowed to abide by the treaty to the 1,000 deities of Egypt and the 1,000 deities of Xitai. If someone breaks the oath, he will be cursed. Highlight 3: Engage in infrastructure It seems that every Egyptian pharaoh likes to engage in infrastructure, a bit like mine. After the battle, Ramses became more relaxed and began to concentrate on building large buildings. Ramses felt that the capital city of Thebes was too small and did not have a huge temple, so he built a large-scale temple complex in Tanis (the capital, also in the Nile Delta). In order to be able to survive for generations and let future generations know his handsome face, he asked Egyptian craftsmen to sculpt many of his tall figures, some in the temple, and some in his tomb in the "Valley of Kings" (in advance) Built). In addition, Ramses likes to build palaces. He built large-scale palace complexes in the capital and accompanying capitals to facilitate his traveling around the country. Although the building of pyramids is no longer popular in the Ramses era, the building of mausoleums is still popular. The mausoleum at this time was called the "Valley of Kings," and it was generally built halfway up a mountain, and the manpower and material resources consumed were not inferior to the construction of a pyramid. Highlight 4: Protect files Above we saw that Ramses and King Xitai signed the world’s first international treaty. The treaty was engraved on a copper plate. This has no precedent before, indicating that Ramses wanted to protect the treaty and pass it on to future generations. At that time, Egypt had promoted the use of papyrus, but Egypt’s raw materials were insufficient, so Ramses expanded trade and purchased papyrus raw materials from the Mediterranean to ensure that sufficient papyrus was produced. Ramses also ordered the improvement of pictographs to ensure that every major event in the country can be fully recorded and kept for future generations to view.
Ramses engineered an oversized archive within the capital and originated full-time personnel to manage the archives. This follow is additionally the primary of its kind. Archivists are typically a lot of probably to be reused, that conjointly reflects Ramses' stress on depository preservation. Highlight 5: Special parturition I browse a bit of reports before that there have been over one hundred individuals in a very social unit in country. At that point, i used to be dismayed. The male owner is thus fierce. however when learning regarding Ramses' family, I knew what a "real man" is. Ramses lived over ninety years recent, married over twenty wives, had over ninety sons and over seventy daughters. At that point, Egypt inspired parturition. The Pharaoh had such a lot of youngsters ANd set an example for the full country. Ramesses deserves to be the foremost prestigious Pharaoh in Egypt. several pharaohs cannot break the birth record alone. Ramses, united of Egypt's most accomplished pharaohs, has done over these. Ramesses wasn't solely an excellent military commander however conjointly a gifted king. throughout his reign, Egypt's politics, economy, culture, and trade reached its peak and have become a robust country within the Mediterranean at that point.
