Ramesses II (c. 1303 BCE – 1213 BCE), also known as Ramesses the Great, was a Pharaoh of Egypt belonging to the Nineteenth dynasty, generally considered the greatest and best-known of all Pharaohs.

In 2012, he was included in a mnemonic set in Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy.[1]

Trivia

Ramesses was included in the Obelisks mnemonic set from the first chapter of the Rome pack as he was the original builder of four of the Obelisks in Rome, most notably the Flaminio Obelisk. It was moved from Heliopolis to the Campus Martius in Rome on order of the Emperor Augustus in 10 BCE to form the gnomon of a colossal sundial. It was found and restored in 1792 by Pope Pius VI, and re-erected in front of Palazzo Montecitorio.
