Video: Great Egyptians - Ramses the Great

Summary:

Description: This man clearly was concerned with posterity: he built more monuments and fathered more children during his reign than any other pharaoh. View some of Ramses' legacies, including the massive figures at Abu Simbel that inspired Mount Rushmore. Then examine a key battle Ramses may have lost — the one with Moses and the God of the Israelites. Judge for yourself how well archaeological evidence supports the events described in Exodus. © 2004 Discovery Channel School Grades: 6-8
