Ramesses II (c. 1303 BCE – 1213 BCE), also known as Ramesses the Great or Ousirmaatre Setepenre, was a pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, generally considered the greatest and one of the most famous of all pharaohs.[1]
Ramesses' rule was aided by the High Priests of Amun, who several generations prior, were granted an Apple of Eden by Tutankhamun.[2]
In 2012, he was included in a mnemonic set in Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy.[3]
