Ramesses II (also known as Ramesses the Great and alternatively transcribed as Ramses and Rameses) was an Egyptian pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty. He lived from ca. 1302 BC to 1213 BC and reigned from either 1279 BC to 1213 BC or 1290 BC to 1224 BC. He ruled for a total of 66 years and 2 months, becoming pharaoh in his early 20s and dying in his ninetieth year. Ancient Greek writers (such as Herodotus) ascribed his accomplishments to the semi-mythical Sesostris. He is widely believed to have been the Pharaoh of the Exodus.
