Warrior, mighty builder and statesman, over the course of his
67-year-long reign (1279-1212 BCE), Ramesses II achieved more than
any other pharaoh in the three millennia of ancient Egyptian
civilization. Drawing on the latest research, Peter Brand reveals
Ramesses the Great as a gifted politician, canny elder statesman,
and tenacious warrior. With restless energy, he fully restored the
office of Pharaoh to unquestioned levels of prestige and authority,
thereby bringing stability to Egypt. He ended almost seven decades
of warfare between Egypt and the Hittite Empire by signing the
earliest international peace treaty in recorded history. In his
later years, even as he outlived many of his own children and
grandchildren, Ramesses II became a living god and finally, an
immortal legend. Brand paints with authoritative knowledge and
colourful details a compelling portrait of this legendary Pharaoh
who ruled over Imperial Egypt during its Golden Age.
