He fully lived up to the "Great" part. His reign lasted for 67 years, the second longest in Egypt's 3,000-year history. He had dozens of wives and more than 100 children, outliving many of them. He was a military leader who expanded the borders of his country. That resulted in decades of peace and prosperity for his people. He ordered huge statues of himself to be erected all over Egypt. Many historians believe that he was the pharaoh of the Exodus, the epic journey that the Jewish people made out of Egypt under the inspired leadership of Moses. Even after death, he remained important. After his mummy was discovered late in the nineteenth century, it became one of Egypt's main tourist attractions. A military honor guard and important government officials witnessed the mummy when it was flown to Paris in 1976. 600 00 $a Ramses $b II, $c King of Egypt $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Pharaohs. $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a Egypt $x History $y Nineteenth dynasty, ca. 1320-1200 B.C. $v Juvenile literature. 856 41 $3 Table of contents $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip052/2004024605.html 939 $a 5558268 941 $a 1 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5F4D52A42B0B11DE9A033608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b NIU 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20090701080000.0Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
