details about one:

Ramesses the Great ruled Egypt for 66 years and won peace with the Hittites.

Ramesses II (also known as Ramesses the Great and alternatively transcribed as Ramses and Rameses) was an Egyptian pharaoh. He lived from about 1314 BC to 1224 BC and reigned from 1290 BC to 1224 BC. He ruled for a total of 66 years, becoming pharaoh at the age of 24 and dying in his 90th year.

He fought and won a peace treaty with the Hittites. He built extensively. Abu Simbel is his most famous monument.

He was the third king of the 19th dynasty, and the son of  Seti I and his Queen Tuya. The most memorable of Ramesses' wives was Nefertari. Others among his wives were Isisnofret and Maathorneferure, Princess of Hatti.

He is thought to have had 90 children. His children include Bintah (Bintanath) (princess and her father's wife), Setakht (Sethnakhte), the Pharaoh Merneptah (who succeeded him), and prince Khaemweset.

Ramesses led several expeditions north into the lands east of the Mediterranean (modern Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria). At the Battle of Kadesh in the fourth year of his reign (1286 BC), Egyptian forces under Ramesses engaged the forces of Muwatallis, king of the Hittites. Over the following years, neither power could effectively defeat the other, so in the 21st year of his reign (1269 BC), Ramesses concluded an agreement with Hattusilis III, the earliest known surviving peace treaty, believed to have been drawn up in 1271 BC.

Ramesses also campaigned south of the first cataract into Nubia. He constructed many impressive monuments such as Abu Simbel, and more statues of him exist than of any other Egyptian pharaoh: Ramesses indeed provided the artisans who lived in Deir el Medina with plenty of work. His Morturary temple is the Rameseum at Luxor.

He was buried in the Valley of the Kings, in KV7, but his mummy was later moved to the mummy cache at Deir el-Bahri, where it was found in 1881 and placed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo five years later, where it is still exhibited with pride by the Egyptian people.

His successor was his son Merneptah.

Answer 4

Taha Hussien

Answer 5

I second Taha hussain why?

He was raised by a Sufi father and went on to study at Al Azhar

He travelled abroad to study his PHD in Paris.

Because he was a blind man that over came the odds against the disabilty

he became a PHD holder and the head of a University

He was a great man for womens rights- Women in Egypt today are able to access Education easier because of the Education reforms that he pushed for, for women.

He had many people turn against him for his books

He was a great thinker and great writer

He still returned to Egypt at an age young enough to cause change and add his skills and knowledge to the society

May God have mercy on his soul
