Sneferu was one of the
biggest pharaohs of the ancient Egypt. He lived around
millennium 2 BC. He is the first great pharaoh of the 4th
dynasty. Also, Sneferu is the first Egypt pharaoh who built
pyramids with the goal of its own immortalize. He is also
the first man in the history of the world who ordered the
statues building.
The first statues that were
made by the antiquity`s masters belonged to the pharaoh`s
children. The historic of the pyramids construction starts
in Meidum, where Sneferu ordered the beginning of his first
pyramid. In the end, this pyramid was abandoned.

The second pyramid is twice
bigger than the first one and it is known in history after
the name of the Flat Pyramid. This name was given by the
Egyptologists because it was even from the beginning
designed with an angle of 58 grades but it was finished at
an angle of the 43 grades. The third pyramid was built at least 1
kilometer from the Plate Pyramid and it is the first
successfully pyramid in history.
The last pyramid is called
the Red Pyramid. Sneferu had 5 children. His follower at the
throne was Kheops. Ramses the Great was the most important
pharaoh of the 19th dynasty (1304-1237 BC). He lived between
1320 and 1237. His father, the pharaoh Seti I (1318-1304
BC), was the one that made the Temple of Abydos.

He
was only 16 years old when he took the leadership. A
long and peaceful reign (67 years), an epoch of
prosperity, cultural prosperity, and
political-military affirmation of Egypt in the West
Asia, an activity of constructor unequaled by any
other pharaoh, made from Ramses II one of the most
known names from the entire Egyptian history. The
first 3 years after the power taking are dedicated
to the administrative reorganizations, to the
elimination of the government's negligence shown at
the end of the Seti I`s reign. The major preoccupation of the extern
politics remained, during the Ramses II` s reign, the
consolidation of the Egypt`s Asian Empire from the
Palestinian-Syrian space, directly threatened by the Hitit
expansion. The 4th year of reign, the date of the first
campaign in Palestine started an epoch of 16 years of fights
having as main enemy the Hitit Kingdom. |
The pharaoh Ramses the Greatest was
married with the queen Nefertari which he chosen from other
20 ‘candidates’. Also, in the 34th year of his reign, Ramses
married with the daughter of the Hitit` s prince called
Ueret-ma-a-neferu-Ra, which means: ‘the greatest who sees
the Ra` s wonders’.
Together with Nefertari, another wife,
and with the other concubines had over 100 children. Seti
was the second pharaoh of the 19th dynasty, Ramses` son. In
a campaign in Asia, Seti lead 3 divisions in fight, of
60.000 solders each. He conquered the garrisons and the
cities found in the territory of Syria and brought back
Damascus under the Egypt`s control.
