The Bible does not actually mention Ramses as the ruler of Egypt during the time of Moses. In fact, if Moses lived for 120 years, he would have outlasted several pharoahs. Ramses II (or Rameses II) lived from approximately 1290 to 1224 BCE, which would have coincided with the time that new settlers began to arrive in the Canaanite hinterland.

Rameses II was considered to be one of the greatest Pharaohs who ever lived. He inherited an impressive empire, and his power stretched from southward of Sudan, north to Turkey, west to Lybia, and east to Iraq. Ramses II took upon himself what can only be described as an extraordinary building activity in his 67-year reign. The greatness of Ramses II is believed to have been due, in no small part, to the training and example of his father.
