Description
In addition to texts on the exhibited objects, the richly illustrated book accompanying the exhibition includes in-depth contributions by internationally renowned authors on the central themes of Egypt's history in the age of the great Pharaoh. It offers insights into the social system of the time, religion and the world of the gods, Ramses II's extensive building policy and Egypt's relationship with its neighbouring states. The numerous campaigns of the pharaoh against the Hittites, including the famous battle of Kadesh, as well as the subsequent first parity peace treaty in world history are also discussed in detail. Contributions on the fascination that Ramses the Great still exerts today round off the volume.
Chosen by the gods, revered by the people Ramses II is considered the most powerful pharaoh of Egypt. For 66 years, longer than any other, he ruled over the land on the Nile. During his reign in the 13th century BC, Ramses II led Egypt to cultural prosperity and economic wealth. No other pharaoh left behind as many buildings and statues as Ramses, who went down in the history of ancient Egypt with the nickname the Great.
