Ramses the Great was the opposite of Queen Hatshepsut.He wanted to make a strong and bigger empire by warfare.The Hittites were rivals with Egypt at that time.They had a battle.It was a draw,however Ramses claimed that he won.Ramses then made a peace treaty with the Hittites.It was the first treaty that was ever made!
Ramses made a 66 ft. tall statue to defend the country.Ramses served as pharaoh for 66 years and died at the age of 90. That shows that he was very healthy.
