Not only is he known as one of Egypt's greatest warriors, but also as a peace-maker and for the monuments he left behind all over Egypt. He was the first king in history to sign a peace treaty with his enemies, the Hittites, ending long years of wars and hostility. The treaty can still be considered a conclusive model, even when applying today's standards.

He was Ramesses the Great, ruled from about 1304BC to 1237BC. He won over the Hettites at the Battle of Kadesh, the two nations made peace some years later and Ramesses married a Hettite princess. He led campaigns against Lybia. During his reign Egypt was prosperous and the pharaoh had a lot of temples and statues built, e.g Abu Simbel and Karnak. (He was called the warrior pharaoh.)
