MUMMI MAYAT FIR’AUN YANG MEMERINTAH MESIR TAHUN 1279-1212 SM

Rameses the Great ruled over Egypt from 1279-1212 BC, an incredible 67 years. Rameses was legendary in many respects. At a time when most people lived only a few decades, Rameses was about 90 years old when he died. He was a tall man about six feet in height, when the average Egyptian was a little over five feet tall. Rameses had many wives in his lifetime and is believed to have fathered over 100 children. In 1974, Egyptologists at the Cairo Museum noticed that the mummy’s condition was getting worse rapidly . They decided to fly Rameses II to Paris so that a team of experts could give the mummy a medical examination. Did you know that even a mummy needs a passport to travel? Ramses II was issued an Egyptian passport that listed his occupation as “King (deceased).” (Alamgir Hussain, June 2004)
