Information about \"Ramses II\" :
Ramses II isremembered for his military campaigns and his extensive building program, theremains of which are still conspicuous. Ramses, like his father Seti I, pursueda vigorous foreign policy by attacking the Hittites, the chief opponents of theEgyptian empire in the East. His first campaigns against them (1300-1299 BC)ended in an Egyptian retreat after a violent battle at Kadesh in Syria, duringwhich Ramses narrowly escaped capture mainly thanks to the intervention of atroop contingent from Amurru. The consequent loss of prestige sparked revoltswithin the empire, and Ramses could not resume direct hostilities against theHittites until 1294; the conflicts were finally concluded by a peace treaty in1283. He also fought in Trans-Jordan and Nubiaand secured the western coast road of Egypt against Libyan invaders by buildingfortresses along the Mediterranean coast as far as 300 km west of the Delta.
Ramses was responsiblefor building many large temples, most notably that at Abu Simbel in Nubia. He alsofounded a new royal capital at Per-Ramesse (\"the house of Ramses\") inthe Eastern Nile delta. During his long reign,Ramses had more than 100 children, and by his death in 1237, he had outlived 11sons.
Ramseswas succeeded by his 12th, surviving son, Merneptah. Under Merneptah anarmy of the Sea Peoples attacked Egypt which consisted for the most part of theAchaeans (Akhaivasa), and can be chronologically related to the migratory wavethat put an end to Troy VII a.
