Rameses II., King of Egypt, whose name is recorded on many monuments as that of a great conqueror, though he was the builder of them, lived 1,400 years before our era, and reigned 66 years. He was a pitiless king, and the Egyptians left his tomb unfinished in token, it is said, of their resentment.
