He was a cultural innovator, a relentless selfpromoter, and an astute diplomatthe peace treaty signed after the Battle of Kadesh was the first in recorded history. He outbuilt every other Egyptian pharaoh, leaving behind the temples of Abu Simbel; the great hypostyle hall of Karnak; the tomb for his wife Nefertari; and his own memorial, the Ramesseum.His reputation eclipsed that of all other pharaohs as well: he was decried in the Bible as a despot, famed in literature as Ozymandias, and lauded by early antiquarians as the Younger Memnon. His rule coincided with the peak of ancient Egypts power and prosperity, the New Kingdom (15391069 B.C.).In this authoritative biography, Toby Wilkinson considers Ramesses preoccupations and preferences, uncovering the methods and motivations of a megalomaniac ruler, with lessons for our own time.
