Pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty (~1279-1213 BCE). The longest-reigning and most-attested Egyptian pharaoh. Battle of Kadesh, Egyptian-Hittite treaty, monumental construction at Abu Simbel and the Ramesseum. Subject of Shelley's Ozymandias. Less developed Birth Cycle than the 18th Dynasty pharaohs but full claim of divine paternity through royal titulary.
