According to official Egyptian rhetoric: Ramesse II. (1279-1213 BC), sometimes also referred to as Ramesse the Great, was an Egyptian pharaoh at the time of the New Empire (1550-1070 / 1069) and was the third ruler of 19. a dynasty that ruled about 1292-1186 / 1185. His father was Sethi I, the ruling 1290-1279 / 1278.

He was a skilled diplomat (he signed the first ever peace treaty with the Chetian king) diligent builder and an energetic ruler. Behind him he left Egypt in peace and prosperity, which is why he is considered the greatest ruler of Egyptian history.

Ramesses II. is called the greatest builder of ancient Egypt. He is credited with authoring a large number of temples in Egypt. Undoubtedly, he belongs to the rulers to whom most statues are attributed.

Statues of Ramesse II. are something special and exceptional. He pointed out their complete originality in his book Lost Technologies of Egypt, Chris Dunn. He documented that the statues allegedly depicting Ramesses II. are designed according to the principles of the golden ratio. This raises several interesting questions: Why the golden cut? And is it really Ramesses II? What technology did they use to create sculptures?

The first and second questions have something in common. The statues (by which I mean not only Ramesses II) were apparently an expression of a physiological-spiritual ideal. That is, a state of complete harmony between matter and spirit. In a way, it is also offered whether Ramesse had anything to do with these statues at all, because it was definitely not about his visage…
