The Pharaoh's ruled Egypt until the 30 A.D. and the Ptolemaic Dynasty. After this time Egypt became under the rule of Augustus Caesar and Rome.
One way Ramses II made Egypt more stable was by making peace with enemies. The Egyptians and the Hittites had been at war with each other for many years. Ramses II sought to put an end to the war and signed a peace treaty with the Hittites. This was significant because it became the first peace treaty ever.
Cleopatra was the last Pharaoh because after her death, Egypt lost its independence and became a province of Rome and was ruled by the Romans under Roman law. Her children were not allowed to rule Although her daughter became a queen by her marriage to king Juba, she did not rule in Egypt.
Ramses II is important for many reasons.1. He was very active in building monuments in Egypt and Nubia2. He led several campaigns into Syria, Libya and Nubia and negotiated a treaty with the Hittites3. He is one of only a handful of Egyptian kinds to have held a Sed fesitival. This means that in the 30th year of his reign, he was ritually transformed into a God.4. He has been identified as being the Pharaoh of whom Moses demanded to let his people go (this may or may not be a correct identification)5. He also inspired Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ozymandias" and the character Ozymandias from the popular Watchmen graphic novel and movie takes his inspiration from Ramses II.Ramses II had a 66 year reign and in the 30th year, he had already eclipsedmost pharaohs; he had brought peace, maintained Egyptian borders, built great and numerous monuments across his empire and his country was more prosperous and powerful than it had been in almost 100 years.
