Ramesses II had the phrase “I am Ozymandias, King of Kings” inscribed on the base of a statue of himself. Historians believe he earned this title, though, and consider him "Ramesses the Great", one of the most successful, powerful, and well-regarded pharaohs of ancient Egypt.

Ramesses’ military leadership impressed his father so much that he stepped down after 15 years as pharaoh, saying, “Crown [Ramesses] king so that I may see his accomplishments while I still live!”

This biography introduces listeners to his many accomplishments as both a warrior-king and a god-king. When he died at age 96, Egyptians believed him to be a higher deity than any who preceded him; in some ways, he achieved eternal life by living on in memory through the end of the Egyptian Empire and beyond.
