Ramses was the third pharaoh in the 19th Dynasty. He is the greatest of the Egyptian pharaohs, and may have been the pharaoh of the Biblical Moses. According to the historian Manetho, Ramses ruled for 66 years. He was buried in the Valley of the Kings. Nefertari was Ramses' most famous Great Royal Wife. Ramses fought the famous Battle at Kadesh against the Hittites in what is now Syria.
