Ramses II

Ancient Egypt experienced its last period of splendor thanks to a

pharaoh who, according to all indications, possessed unique qualities as
a soldier, diplomat and ruler: Ramses II, rightly called the Great. After
his victories against the Hittites, which allowed him to consolidate his
domains in Palestine and Syria and with it the eastern border, the long
reign of Ramses II (approximately between 1301 and 1237 BC) was a
time of peace and prosperity that would be reflected in portentous
architectural achievements; the temples of Abu Simbel and the
Hypostyle Hall of Karnak are among the many jewels of his legacy.

Menes

Pharaoh of the 29th century a. C. to whom the unification of Egypt is

attributed. According to legendary tradition, Menes was the first pharaoh
of the first dynasty, with whom the human history of Egypt began; he
had been implanted directly by the gods, with whom he was related.
Along with the unification of Egypt, that founding act had also brought
writing, art, agriculture, and craft techniques.
