Ramses II statue

Ramses ii

The statue of Ramses II was discovered in 1820 by the Explorer Giovanni Batista Cavellia, near Memphis in Egypt.

Ramses II was the third king of the 19th Egyptian dynasty. He is regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful king of the New Kingdom, who ruled for the longest time any pharaoh did.

There are protective cartridges on the shoulders of the statue, with Ramses wearing a dagger, and two heads representing Horus.

The statue’s hand is closed to represent intensity and strength, while the statue’s smiling face represents mercy and tolerance.
