Ramses II ruled during the 19th Dynasty (1279-1212 BC). He was the third ruler during this time period. Being powerful and ambitious, he would expand Egypt's empire a vast deal and would construct many temples all of which overshadow many of the others before him. Although known for expansion and building structures, he also remains an important Pharaoh to the story of Exodus. RAlthough Ramses II had a harem of wives, his special wife was Nefertari and it was presumed that he had over one hundred children with all his wives.
