Pharaoh Ramesses II reigned for almost 70 years in the 13th century BCE.
He presided over a golden age of Egyptian prosperity.
But was he a model leader, or a shameless egomaniac and master of propaganda?
Order! Order! Who do we have on the stand? Ramesses II?
Ahem, I believe you mean "The strong bull, protector of Egypt, who subdues foreign lands; rich in years, great in victories, chosen by Ra — whose justice is powerful — Ramesses, beloved of Amun."
But you may refer to him as Ramesses the Great.
Ramesses, Ramesses — I think I've heard of him.
"Let my people go!"
Yes, Your Honor, he was the infamously stubborn pharaoh of Exodus, who forced enslaved Hebrews to build out his extravagant capital city of Pi-Ramesses.
Objection, there's no archaeological evidence that Ramesses used forced labor in his construction projects.
