What is the difference of ramesses the third and ramesses the second?
Ramesses the second is not the same person as ramesses the third. Ramesses the second is more famus and is more pupular. Ramesses the third is just another ramesses. In Egypt many names are the same just with the number of times that name ecsites is added. Examples: Ramesses, Ramesses the first, or II, or also know as Rammesses the great because he had such a positive impact on Egypt, Ramesses the third.
What was the first labor strike?
The first known labor strike in recorded history occurred in ancient Egypt during reign of Pharaoh Ramesses III.
Who was Ramses the first and was he related to King Ramses the second?
Ramesses I was the grandfather of Ramesses II. The first Ramesses was a military officer of no proven royal blood, who was appointed heir by the childless Pharaoh Horemheb, last king of the 18th Dynasty. He appears to have had a very short reign, no longer than 14 months, after which power passed to his son, Seti I, who was succeeded in his turn by his son, Ramesses II.
When did Ramesses the 2nd die?
The conventional or official date for Ramses II (reigned 1304-1237 B.C.) is now seriously questioned as a result of studies into the re-organisation of Egyptian chronology. Officially, this man was the third ruler of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. The first ruler of this dynasty, "Ramesses I", ruled for one year. This man seems to have been an appointed official tasked with implementing a new constitution. It is now looking much more likely that the experiment Herodotus reported on, "The Twelve Governors of Egypt" is the source for "Ramesses I". Appointed by "Ramesses I", these governors ruled Egypt just a couple of centuries before Herodotus arrived in Egypt not 800 years before his time. In the re-construction, it is not clear if Herodotus's twelve governors reigned for a few years before the start of the 19th dynasty (circa 680 BC), or later. However, at the moment, we assume these 'twelve ramessides' ruled Egypt just prior to Sety's establishment of his '19th' dynasty. As Herodotus says, unhappy with the failure of kings, the Egyptians tried other forms of government in the 7th century BC. After the Assyrians, Carthaginians and Ethiopians invaded or conquered Egypt, a domestic elite, or a regime appointed by the Assyrians, managed to re-gain independence around 670 BC. The initial experiment seems to have been to appoint twelve governors as rulers of different districts of Egypt. It was probably an experiment in decentralisation. But it failed. Thus a general in the army, Psammetichus or Seti-Ptah-Maat overthrew these governors according to Herodotus. This is probably how the 19th dynasty emerged. Later compilers of the king lists, or the ramessides themselves, probably referred to "Ramesses" or The Moses of Ra as the entity to represent the twelve governors. That is why just one year is ascribed to him. Ramesses I is purely a representative entry in a king-list. Thus Sety (or Seti) was installed king of Egypt in a new dynasty in circa 670 BC. This dynasty is labelled the 19th since it followed the 18th. But all these labels are misleading because there were probably only about 8 dynasties that ruled all Egypt or Egypt and Ethiopia. National or supra-national dynasties should be distinguished from dynasties of regional rulers and it is not at all clear Egyptologists in fact do this. Ramesses II was therefore the second real king of the "19th" dynasty but the first to take the title "Ramesses". Three or four of his sons, including the infamous Merneptah Baenre Meriamun Hotephir-maat, inscriber of the Israel Stele which said, "Israel's seed is destroyed; the Land razed to the ground," also reigned before another general overthrew this dynasty. This general, probably "Amasis", started another dynasty taking the title Ramesses III. Later archivists and our modern Egyptologists then placed the other 'ramessides' or original governors in a sequence after Ramesses III to give about twelve in all. However, they were contemporaries not consecutive and probably ruled Egypt a few decades before Ramesses III who took over after Merneptah, last son of Ramesses II to rule. Thus, after re-organising the dynastic structure of ancient Egypt by using Merneptah's statement about Israel as an anchor or chronological land-mark to date him at 586 BC not 1210 BC, we get a new date for the death of Ramesses II, or Merneptah's father. Ramesses II therefore died about 610 BC.
Why is Ramses 2 famous?
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.

Ramesses II therefore died about 610 BC.
Where is Ramesses now?
"Ramesses" means "The Moses of Ra". To answer this question we need to explain there were about 12 or 13 Egyptian kings called "Ramesses". The Egyptians named this group of kings after Moses about 900 years after the death of Moses of Israel. Few people realise that the Egyptian chronologies are in a complete mess. It has been agreed, by most generations of "Egyptologists", that a king called Ramesses was contemporary with Moses of Israel (circa 1565-1445 BC). However, this is quite wrong. Ramesses II had a son named Merneptah. He wrote that "Israel's seed is destroyed; The Land (Retinu) razed to the ground." Thi s sentence only makes sense in 586 BC when Nebuchadnezzar castrated Jewish males and flattened the entire country. The 18th dynasty which expired before the 19th and 20th dynasties of the ramessides took over ended with Tutenkhamen. Radio-carbon dating analysis of King Tut's bed and furniture revealed he lived in 800 BC, not 1350 BC. Queen Hatshepsut, supposedly but wrongly circa 1450 BC, of the 18th dynasty, is the Sheba of the South (Ophir, Auphirah or Africa) from the Bible. Hatshepsut means "The Sign of the Sheba of the South". She was Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia (The South). Her temple at Deir el-Bahari was a copy of Solomon's temple (950 BC). Thus the ramessides must have reigned Egypt hundreds of years after Solomon of Israel who himself was 500 years after Moses. "Moses" or "Moshe" in Semitic speaking, is an Egyptian word for someone born from the river. Whether that is the actual meaning is a debate. But that is why Moses-Moshe got the name so something like that meaning is probably correct. It is in effect an Egyptian term revering the River of Egypt. In the logic or myth of the ancient Egyptians, if a baby was found floating on the Nile and an Egyptian princess espied him there, a god must have supplied the baby. Thus a god had destined this baby to rule Egypt. Since the 12th dynasty pharaoh of Moses' time, perhaps Amenemhat I, had an heir, Moses was taken into the royal household as an adopted prince. He would be trained to administer Egypt. He ended up being the great prophet and leader of Israel instead but 900 years later, in 650 BC, the Egyptians had a new constitutional structure (according to Herodotus). In this structure, the country was divided into twelve provinces. A governor called a "Ramesses" (Moses of Ra) would govern each district. One of them, Sety or Psametichus (Sety Ptah Maat), re-instituted monarchical rule because this system failed. He removed the twelve ramesside governors. Later Egyptian historians like Manetho (circa 300 BC) thought these ramessides ruled in sequence. The truth is that they were contemporaries. That mistake alone resulted in them and later Egyptologists adding 100 extra years to Egyptian chronology. But that is a relatively minor mistake compared to the 800 to 900-year error regarding the Moses=Ramesses II (or III) equation. For more about this problem refer to the websites below. To conclude this question, only two kings named Ramesses had any significant role in Egypt's history. They are Ramesses II and III. Ramesses I apparently only reigned for one year. This is just an 'administrative' entry to explain the experiment with the twelve ramesside governors. After Sety's coup, unless he was actually the first "Ramesses", his successor or son was "Ramesses II". This is the one usually, but totally falsely, who is linked with Moses as contemporary. After his sons succeeded him, probably culminating with Merneptah, another army general (like Sety?) took control. His name seems to have been recorded as Amasis and he seems to have become Ramesses III. He fought the Persians (Peleset or Pereset) and the Greeks (Danae or Athenians) after the fall of Nebuchadnezzar's Chaldean-Babylonian empire. Some people think Ramesses III was the Ramesses of Exodus 1:11. Neither ramesside was king of Egypt during Israel's Exodus. Both ruled Egypt around the time of Israel's exile to Assyria and Babylon (720 to 586 BC). That is also why we still have their mummies. They were quite recent kings in the context of Egypt's dynastic history going back to circa 2200 BC (not 3000 BC).

Where did Ramses the Great Live?
I - Who Was Ramesses I? Around 1290 BC, the pharaoh Ramesses I, ancestor of Egypt's most illustrious rulers, was buried in a richly painted tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Ramesses entered his tomb expecting to undertake an arduous journey through the underworld. The king could hardly have imagined that his journey would take over three thousand years, winding a path to Atlanta, Georgia. Ramesses I At the close of the Eighteenth Dynasty, the Egyptian royal family was in disarray, allowing Horemheb, a military commander of non-royal blood to become the last king of the dynasty. Since he had no heir, Horemheb appointed his military comrade and most trusted advisor, Paramessu, to be his successor. Paramessu, son of Seti, a judge and troop commander from Avaris in the northeastern Delta, began his career as a mid-level military officer, rising rapidly through the ranks. During the reign of Horemheb, Paramessu reached the highest levels of power, surpassing his father's position as troop commander to become "master of horse, commander of the fortress, controller of the Nile mouth, charioteer of His Majesty, king's envoy to every foreign land, royal scribe, colonel, and general of the Lord of the Two Lands." Paramessu took the name Ramesses when he claimed the throne and founded the 19th Dynasty, becoming the first of eleven rulers by that name, including his grandson, Ramesses the Great. Ramesses had reached at least middle-age when he became king and ruled for only two years. This left him little time to erect temples, statues, or other monuments, and leaves us with little evidence of his reign. In fact, Ramesses did not even have time to complete his tomb (KV 16) in the Valley of the Kings at Thebes. The tomb of Ramesses I was located in October 1817 by the Italian explorer Giovanni Battista Belzoni. Inside, Belzoni found several wooden statues and a red granite sarcophagus with cursorily painted decoration and damage on the lid, where it had been pried open in antiquity. The plan and decoration of the tomb were abbreviated in comparison to others in the Valley due to the brevity of the king's reign; the niches along the corridor were left unfinished and only the burial chamber itself was decorated.The bulk of the funerary equipment was absent, having been stolen during the late New Kingdom, when tomb robbery in the Valley of the Kings went unchecked. The mummy of Ramesses I was also missing from the tomb. According to both textual and archaeological evidence, Ramesses I was reburied in a cache of royal mummies during the Third Intermediate Period. At that time, Thebes was ruled by a series of military leaders who also held the prestigious title of High Priest of Amun, the preeminent god of Egypt whose worship was based at Karnak temple. It was the priestly officials of Thebes who re-consecrated and reburied the kings whose tombs had been violated. Recent scholarship has even suggested that the priests themselves stripped the gold and precious materials from the royal mummies and coffins, enriching the Amun Temple through officially sanctioned tomb robbery.

What markings are on cleopatras needle?
Cleopatra's needles, there are three of them, were inscribed roughly 200 years after they were first erected. The writing was done by Pharaoh Ramesses II in order to commemorate his military victories. The obelisks have nothing to do with Cleopatra except they somehow have been dubbed with her name.
