In conclusion Pharaoh Rameses ii made enough impact in his long life that his name and accomplishments survive today. He lived long enough to see his large building projects finished, was popular with all his people because of him being fearless in war and then finally brought lasting peace in his new inventions, the peace treaty and all his sings of greatness. I can’t imagine that much of our civilization will last more than 3000 years because we don’t have Pharaohs like Rameses who has such great power. Rameses ii was a great Pharaoh and I think he was a positive impact on Egypt.
