Ramesses II (c. 1303 BCE – 1213 BCE), also known as Ramesses the Great, whose throne name was 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.

In 38 BCE Ramesses' spirit, alongside those of his predecessors, Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and Tutankhamun, were seemingly returned to the world of the living by the God's Wife of Amun, Isidora, who had possession of the Aten.[2]

In 2012, he was included in a mnemonic set in Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy.[3]
