No, the stone was a decree issued by Ptolemy V in Memphis, an early capital of the lower kingdom of Egypt, around 200 BCE.

Ramses II lived over a thousand years earlier, though the cities he built on the Nile Delta were not far from what later became Memphis.

The Greeks knew Ramses II by the name "Ozymandias," made famous in the poem that contains the line: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!
