Egyptian Pharoah, Ramses II
Pharaoh Ramses II or Ramses the Great, the illustrious ruler of Egypt's 19th Dynasty, invites you into a realm of ancient wonders through our collection of Ramses II coloring pages.
The Pharaoh featured in the Passover story of Moses is not named directly in the biblical narrative. Scholars often speculate that Ramses II, from the 19th Dynasty, might be the Pharaoh in question, considering the era and the extensive construction activities of his time, which could correspond with the enslavement of the Israelites as described in the Bible.
History of the Egyptian Pharoah, Ramses II:
Ramses II, known as Ramses the Great, was a pharaoh whose reign illuminated ancient Egypt with grandeur and glory. Picture the vast, sun-drenched lands of Egypt under his rule, with monumental structures that touch the sky, their sandstone surfaces glowing in shades of gold and amber as the sun sets on the horizon. Ramses II's legacy is carved into the very heart of these majestic temples and statues, each telling a story of power, divinity, and eternal life, painted in the rich earth tones of the desert and the vibrant blues of the Nile that flows like a lifeline through the land.
Imagine the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel, with its colossal statues of Ramses standing guard, their faces etched with the pharaoh's determined gaze, looking out across the ages. The interiors of these temples are a kaleidoscope of colors, with wall reliefs and paintings in brilliant hues of lapis lazuli, carmine, and emerald, depicting gods, goddesses, and the pharaoh's heroic deeds. The Battle of Kadesh, one of Ramses's most famous military campaigns, could come to life in a swirl of chariots and soldiers, amidst the chaos and courage of battle, with flags and pennants streaming in a sky streaked with the oranges and purples of dawn or dusk. Children are invited to step into a world where history and mythology blend seamlessly, coloring in the legacy of one of Egypt's most legendary rulers.
