The pharaoh wears the White Crown of Upper Egypt, adorned with the falcon god Horus, and the Red Crown of Lower Egypt, representing the desert and the Nile, respectively. The intricate gold collar, encrusted with precious stones, further emphasizes his wealth and prestige. Rameses II is renowned for his military conquests, expanding the Egyptian empire to its greatest extent. He led several successful campaigns against the Hittites, Libyans, and Nubians. The Battle of Kadesh, fought against the Hittites in 1274 BC, is considered one of the most famous military engagements in ancient history. Rameses II's military triumphs were commemorated in numerous monuments, including temples and obelisks, many of which still stand today.
