Usimare Ramesses III ( also written Ramses and Rameses ) was the second Pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty and is considered to be the last New Kingdom king to wield any substantial authority over Egypt . His long reign saw the decline of Egyptian political and economic power , linked to a series of invasions and internal economic problems . Pharaoh is the common title of the monarchs of ancient Egypt from the First Dynasty ( c . 3150 ) until the Macedonian conquest in ___MASK61___ BC , although the actual term " Pharaoh " was not used contemporaneously for a ruler until circa ___MASK74___ . Ramesses II ( variously transliterated as " Rameses " or " Ramses " ( or ); born ; died July or August ___MASK98___ BC ; reigned 1279  ___MASK98___ BC ), also known as Ramesses the Great , was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt . He is often regarded as the greatest , most celebrated , and most powerful pharaoh of the Egyptian Empire . His successors and later Egyptians called him the " Great Ancestor ". Ramesses II led several military expeditions into the Levant , reasserting Egyptian control over Canaan . He also led expeditions to the south , into Nubia , commemorated in inscriptions at Beit el - Wali and Gerf Hussein . Iset Ta - Hemdjert or Isis Ta - Hemdjert , simply called Isis in her tomb , was an Ancient Egyptian queen of the twentieth dynasty ; the Great Royal Wife of Ramesses III and the Royal Mother of Ramesses VI . She was probably of Asian origin ; her mother ' s name Hemdjert ( or Habadjilat or Hebnerdjent ) is not an Egyptian name but a Syrian one . One of her children are known to us , Ramesses VI , who succeeded his nephew Ramesses V , the short - lived son of Ramesses IV . Other than Ramesses V , the grandchildren of Iset Ta - Hemdjert include Ramesses VII , the God ' s Wife of Amun Iset , and princes Amunherkhopsef and Panebenkemyt ; these are all the children of Ramesses VI . Ramesses IV was once thought to be this queen ' s own son too until it was revealed in a recent 2010 Journal of Egyptian Archaeology article that Queen Tyti was most likely to be this king ' s mother from copies of fragments of the tomb robbery papyri that Anthony Harris made revealing that she was Ramesses III ' s own wife plus the fact that she is known to have been a king ' s mother . Apart from the Great Royal Wife designation , she also held the titles of God ' s Wife , and , during the reign of her sons , `` King ' s Mother '' . She is shown on a statue of Ramesses III in the Mut temple at Karnak . She was still alive during the reign of Ramesses VI , when her granddaughter Iset became God ' s Wife of Amun . Tutankhamun ( alternatively spelled with " Tutenkh -", "- amen ", "- amon ") was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty ( ruled c . ___MASK48___  ___MASK4___ BC in the conventional chronology ), during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom or sometimes the New Empire Period . He has since his discovery been colloquially referred to as King Tut . His original name , Tutankhaten , means " Living Image of Aten ", while Tutankhamun means " Living Image of Amun ". In hieroglyphs , the name Tutankhamun was typically written Amen - tut - ankh , because of a scribal custom that placed a divine name at the beginning of a phrase to show appropriate reverence . He is possibly also the " Nibhurrereya " of the Amarna letters , and likely the 18th dynasty king Rathotis who , according to Manetho , an ancient historian , had reigned for nine years  a figure that conforms with Flavius Josephus ' s version of Manetho ' s " Epitome ". The Roman Empire ( Koine and Medieval Greek :    , tr . ) was the post - Roman Republic period of the ancient Roman civilization , characterized by government headed by emperors and large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe , Africa and Asia . The city of Rome was the largest city in the world BC AD , with Constantinople ( New Rome ) becoming the largest around ___MASK2___ AD , and the Empire ' s populace grew to an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants ( roughly ___MASK39___ % of the world ' s population at the time ). The ___MASK2___ - year - old republic which preceded it was severely destabilized in a series of civil wars and political conflict , during which Julius Caesar was appointed as perpetual dictator and then assassinated in 44 BC . Civil wars and executions continued , culminating in the victory of Octavian , Caesar ' s adopted son , over Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and the annexation of Egypt . Octavian ' s power was then unassailable and in 27 BC the Roman Senate formally granted him overarching power and the new title " Augustus ", effectively marking the end of the Roman Republic . The Valley of the Kings , the " Valley of the Gates of the Kings ", is a valley in Egypt where , for a period of nearly ___MASK2___ years from the 16th to 11th century BC , tombs were constructed for the Pharaohs and powerful nobles of the New Kingdom ( the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Dynasties of Ancient Egypt ). Isis ( original Egyptian pronunciation more likely " Aset " or " Iset ") is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt . She was first worshiped in ancient Egyptian religion , and later her worship spread throughout the Roman Empire and the greater Greco - Roman world . Isis is still widely worshiped by many pagans today in diverse religious contexts ; including a number of distinct pagan religions , the modern Goddess movement , and interfaith organizations such as the Fellowship of Isis . Ramesses VI Nebmaatre - Meryamun ( also written Ramses and Rameses ) was the fifth ruler of the Twentieth dynasty of Egypt who reigned from ___MASK72___ to 1137 BC and a son of Ramesses III by Iset Ta - Hemdjert . His royal tomb , KV9 , is located near Tutankhamun ' s tomb in the Valley of the Kings . Description . While most Ancient Egyptians were monogamous , the pharaoh would have had other , lesser wives and concubines in addition to the Great Royal Wife . This arrangement would allow the pharaoh to enter into diplomatic marriages with the daughters of allies , as was the custom of ancient kings .
