Ramesses 11 1303 BC was the third Pharaoh of Egypt and in the hereditary line of rulers, the nineteenth ruler of Egypt. He is one of the most revered and admired rulers of Egypt. This is because of the Liberation he brought to his kingdom. He built and developed towns into cities, built temples and monuments and also made Pi-Rameses his administrative base, where he was working from. He made Pi~Rameses the capital of Egypt. He regained dominion over Canaan and Phoenicia.
