Summary
Everyone has heard of Ramesses the Great - but what is the truth behind the legend? Joyce Tyldesley’s lively book explores the life and times of Egypt’s greatest king. Ramesses II was the archetypal Egyptian pharoah: a mighty warrior, an extravagant builder and the father of scores of children. His monuments and image were to be found in every corner of the Egyptian empire. This is his amazing story.
