Famous Egyptian Speech
Ramses II
Who do you think is the third pharaoh in the nineteenth century? Exactly! That is me!. I am Ramses II and I was a very important pharaoh. Many people loved me, and I had many wives. In total I had more than 100 children. People still worship me. I made many structures.
I was the third pharaoh of the nineteenth century. I was a Great builder, and known as Ramses the Great. I was also known as Egypt’s greatest warrior and the peacemaker. My sister was Princes Tia, and my father was Seti I. I lived in the Valley of the Kings. I was born in 1279 BC and I died in 1213 BC. I was 80 when I dies, which was very rare in those days. I ruled for 67 years as a pharaoh and that is very long, because the normal people jus rule for 4 years, so that is almost 17 times as much.
I was a great builder, and a great warrior. I built monuments, temples, pyramids, and tombs. I also built the capital : Ree- Ramses (which means City of Ramses.). I wrote my name in the wall of the temples so deep, that no one ever could erase it. Pretty smart huh?
People still worship me, because I was such a great pharaoh. I was also a very important one. I made peace with the Hitties to marry a Hitian woman. The the Hitties and the Egyptians worshipped me both. You can still find me in the Egyptian museum in Cairo.
People respected me because I built temples, and monuments. I was 20 when I became pharaoh. I hope you learned a lot about me, and hope that you are going to visit me in the museum in Cairo and my temples. I also hope you are going to worship me!
