  1. We can never know the real name used by eleven kings of the 19th and 20th dynasties, since hieroglyphs only record the consonants of the name, not the vowels. These consonants are written R'-ms-ss or R'-ms-s.
  2. The name Ramesses (or however you choose to say it) means "born of Ra".
  3. Ramesses I was not of royal birth. He had been Vizier and King's Deputy to King Horemheb, who had no sons. Horemheb simply appointed Ramesses to succeed him.
  4. Ramesses II is called "the Great" because of his military success and the huge building programmes he initiated.
  5. Ramesses II ruled for at least 67 years.
