Ramesses the Great, his Long Life and Rule of Ancient Egypt

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Why do you think Ramesses the Great is associated with the king in the Book of Exodus?

[@Texasmade74]

Never mind that there's absolutely no evidence for anything in the book of Exodus let alone Moses etc

[@curiousworld7912]

As you say; there's no evidence of such an exodus of what would have been a majority of the population of Egypt at the time. I think that during the Bronze Age collapse, not too many years after Ramesses II, there were those who left Egypt, and migrated to Canaan, telling stories of liberation. And, I think that's the deeper meaning of the Biblical Exodus; liberation - from slavery, from 'sin', from oneself, even.

Hi Kelly, my students and I love your videos. Thanks for doing a good job! Greetings from Vienna! 💚😽😃

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

We love hearing that, thank you! All the best of luck to you and your students. 🙂

Great video, very informative. I think he is associated with the king in the Book of Exodus purely because he is such a famous pharaoh, and had a long reign. People tend to try to pull down successful historical figures - if history claims they were great, dissenters will look for all the reasons they weren't so great, but I think Ramesses earned that title. He was undoubtedly a remarkable figure who left an incredible legacy.

Well said. Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

[@GeoffryGifari]

isn't ramesses II the pharaoh on which the poem 'ozymandias' is based on?

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Ozymandias was a Greek name for Ramesses II!

[@chrissimiyu5484]

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

Indian Ramayana story is inspired by Egyptian Ramses I, Ramses II, III...XI' histories

[@aureliusaugustus7330]

This is what happens when you have no knowledge of what you talk about and make wild speculations with zero basis in facts. Ramses is a Hellenised name of rꜥ-ms-sw which is pronounced as Rīʿa-məsī-sū, which means Ra is the one who bore him. Mere surface similarities don't make something related. There's nothing that connected Ramayana and Egyptian Pharoahs.

[@adamc1966]

So the writers of the bible couldn't get the creator of the universe to divulge the name of an important pharaoh?

[@md.mohiuddinmim2864]

Ramesses II the Tyrant. He was one of the biggest tyrant in human history.

[@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia]

Everyone will have different opinions on him.

[@md.mohiuddinmim2864]

@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia yea just like you guys calling a tyrant great. this guy was so arrogant, that he claimed himself god.

[@feelgoodbeats9376]

you talk nonsense

[@md.mohiuddinmim2864]

@@feelgoodbeats9376 ohh let me guess, you must be another smart ass. who believes everything that was written in a book, which was written by some archaeologist guy, who assumed something about history. Or maybe you were present in the time of ramesses II?
