King Ramses II (also called Ramses the Great) 1279-1212 B.C.
2007_0727_170451AA
The third largest known Sphinx in the world in a majestic and almost magical setting of the University of Pennsylvania Museum.
The Sphinx once stood in the Palace of King Merenptah at Memphis, Egypt.
Dynasty 19, Reigns of Ramesses II and
Merenptah (1279-1204 B.C.)
The Sphinx, a lion with a human head, represents the power of the Egyptian king. both to protect his people and to conquer the enemies of Egypt.
This Sphinx was burried up to its shoulders; only the exposed head was attacked by windblown sand, which eroded the facial features and the royal false beard. The inscriptions on the chest and around the base give the five names of Ramesses II. His son and successor Merenptah added his own cartouches to the shoulders after his father's death. This most impressive sphinx weighs about twelve tons. It was quarried at Aswan and transported by river to the Ptah Temple at Memphis, 600 miles away.

Intef II

Biografía [editar]
Fue gobernante de Uaset (Tebas) y el sucesor de su hermano, Intef I.
En esta época Egipto estaba fragmentado entre varias dinastías locales. Después de la muerte del nomarca Anjtifi, Intef II fue capaz de reunir bajo su mando todos los nomos meridionales desde Uaset (Tebas) hasta hasta la primera catarata del Nilo.
Inicialmente las relaciones con el Jety III, de Heracleópolis Magna, fueron bastante cordiales pero Intef atacó y conquistó el nomo de Afroditópolis aunque pronto sería recuperado por el nuevo nomarca de Heracleópolis, Merykara. También tomó la ciudad principal del nomo tinita, Abidos. La ciudad cambió de manos varias veces, pero Intef finalmente quedaría victorioso, extendiendo su reino hasta el nomo XIII.
Después de estas guerras, se establecieron relaciones más amistosas y el resto de su reinado sería pacífico. La situación en la frontera se tornaría incierta durante un tiempo pero Intef II puso las bases de la ofensiva definitiva que acometerá Mentuhotep I.
Testimonios de su época [editar]
En la sala de antecesores de Karnak Intef II es mencionado como sucesor de Intef I y predecesor de Intef III. En el templo de Montu en Tod existe un relieve en el que se representa a Mentuhotep I con Intef II e Intef III ofrendando al dios Montu. Los primeros testimonios del dios Amón en Karnak fueron fechados durante su reinado.
A Intef II se le enterró en una tumba, horadada en la roca, en Saff el-Kisasiya, en la ribera occidental de Tebas, próxima a la de su hermano y predecesor, Intef I. En la capilla de la tumba, se encontró una estela con un relieve del faraón y sus perros. La estela es muy famosa porque muestra a sus perros favoritos y sus nombres, no egipcios, con las traducciones egipcias. Seguramente es la representación más antigua de unos perros con sus nombres. Estos son Behekay "gacela", Abaqer "galgo" y Pehetes "negro" (Museo Egipcio de El Cairo).
Reconstruyó el templo de Satet en Elefantina. Una Estela en Tebas, menciona a Uahanj Intef.[1]

Intef II was a Pharaoh of the Eleventh dynasty during the First Intermediate Period. His capital was located at Thebes. At this time, Egypt was split between several local dynasties. After the death of the nomarch Ankhtifi, Intef II was able to unite all the southern nomes down to the First Cataract. After this he clashed with his main rivals, the nomarchs of Herakleopolis Magna for the possession of Abydos. The city changed hands several times, but Intef II was eventually victorious, extending his rule north to the thirteenth nome.
After these wars, more friendly relations were established and the rest of Intef's reign was peaceful. The discovery of a statue of Intef II, wrapped in a sed festival robe, in the sanctuary of Heqaib at Elephantine suggests that this king's authority extended to the region of the First Cataract and, perhaps, over part of Lower Nubia by his 30th year.[2] This impression would appear to be confirmed by an expedition led by Djemi from Gebelein to the land of Wawat (ie: Nubia) during his reign.[2] Consequently when Intef II died, he left behind a strong government in Thebes which controlled the whole of Upper Egypt and maintained a border just south of Asyut.[2]
The earliest attested dating of the god Amun at Karnak occurs during his reign. The surviving sections of the Turin Canon for the Middle Kingdom with Intef II; it assigns this king a reign of 49 years.[3]
