• Ramses II (aka Ramses the Great)– Ruled for 66 years!– Unlike Hatshepsut, Ramses II wanted to

make Egypt powerful through war– Egypt extended its territory south into

the African Kingdom Nubia– He negotiated the first known peace

treaty with the Hittites– Having one leader for 66 years kept the

Egyptian government stable– His reign was also a time of peace.
