ramses ii, a 19th dynasty pharaoh ruled egypt from around 1279 to 1213 bce. among ramses ii many accomplishments, such as the expanding of the egyptian borders, he constructed a massive temple called the ramesseum. the temple is located near the city of thebes, which at the time was the capital for the new kingdom pharaoh. the ramesseum was a magnificent temple, completed with monument status to guard its entrance; the most impressive of which was a 62 foot tall statue of ramses himself. only fragments of this structure remain, particularly its base and torso are all that remain of this impressive statue of the enthroned pharaoh, and thus the dimensions and weight (approximately 1000 pounds) are based on estimates. the temple was also accompanied with impressive reliefs many of which detail a number of rames' military victories, such as the battle of kadesh (ca. 1274 bc) and the pillaging of the city "shalem".
