What year was Ramses ll born?

Answer 1

Ramses II live in New York

Answer 2

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, Ramses I reigned 1292-1290 BCE.

Prior to his accession, Ramses had been a commander in Pharaoh Horembeb's army.

(Horembeb himself was not a descendant of the previous Pharaoh (Ay) but had also been an army commander in Pharaoh Ay's army before becoming the new Pharaoh.)

Being apparently childless, Pharaoh Horemheb chose one of his army commanders, Paramesse, to be his successor. When Paramesse acceded the throne he ruled under the name of Ramses I, and, as it happens, founded the 19th Dynasty of Egyptian Kings.

Based on the important military rank Paramesse had achieved becoming pharaoh, and on the estimated date of the start of his reign as King/Pharaoh Ramses I, dates ranging from 1345-1324 BCE have been suggested for the year of his birth.

Answer 3

The conventional or official answer is that Ramesses II was born 1303 BC. That is the date determined and generally agreed upon by Egyptologists. The question of the ramessides' dates in history was long ago, but incorrectly settled by equating the Ramessides' era with that of Moses of Israel. That is because of the conventional reading of Exodus 1:11 in The Bible. However, in the Bible's own chronology, Moses died in circa 1445 BC and was himself born 120 years previously (circa 1565 BC). In Genesis 47:11, Joseph and Jacob brought the Israelite tribe into Egypt in circa 1900 BC. Then they settled in "The Land of Rameses". In Exodus, in 1500 BC according to Biblical chronology, they built the "City of Raamses". Note the differences in spelling of "Ramesses". The differences in the Bible are the result of scribes adding different vowel signs to the two names in Genesis 47:11 and Exodus 1:11. In the original Bible scrolls those vowel pointers were never in the text. In modern copies of the Hebrew texts, i.e., in the inaptly-named "Old Testament" or Tanaach, the Hebrew spelling for both Rameses and Raamses is Resh, Ayin, Mem, Samech, Samech . No difference, exactly the same word.

More significantly, the real issue is why do "Ramesses" and "Raamses" get mentioned in one event in 1900 BC and in another in 1500 BC, 400 years later? The mystery deepens because the ramesside kings only ruled Egypt for 100 years or so. Did they rule around 1900 BC or 1500 BC? If either date is correct, how could "Ramesses II" be born in 1303 BC?

Obviously there is a serious problem here. One way to resolve the problem is to deconstruct Egyptian chronology as Jacques Derrida might do. One may assume it is almost completely wrong and instead regard as highly accurate the the Biblical chronology, developed contemporaneously with the ancient events as they occurred. Furthermore, a proper interpretation of Exodus 1:11 is that "Pithom and Raamses" [each city preceded by the special Hebrew definite article (aleph-tav or eth)] should be read or translated as: "They built the Pithom (or The Ramesseum)" the latter being hundreds of years later when the Israelites from Judah returned to Egypt after Nebuchadnezzar ransacked Judea and Jerusalem between circa 610-586 BC. Yes, Israelites built "Pithom and Raamses". But not in the same generation. Israelites built the first city (Pithom, the aleph) in circa1500 BC. Israelites built the last city (Raamses, the tav) in circa 600* BC. [* Apologies readers, earlier drafts of this had "1500 BC" but the text should have read 600 BC as since amended (August 11, 2011)]. The latter construction is recorded in Jeremiah chapter 44 as Migdol, Noph = Phon=Phonecian, Tahpanhes-Si-en-ptah, Memphis, Memphit, Phit-mem = Pithom).

We can now demonstrate from carbon-dating, which is usually very difficult because of many contamination factors inevitably associated with this system, that in the peculiar circumstances of 18th Dynasty Tutenkhamen he died circa 800 BC not circa 1340. We can virtually prove that the 18th Dynasty Ethiopian-Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut was "Queen Sheba of Ophir-Africa" who visited Solomon in circa 950 BC not 1450 her putative date. She was Josephus' "Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia" and Jesus' "Queen of the South" (or Sutenbat = Sudan and Egypt). In 586 BC not 1210 BC, Merneptah Baenre Meriamun Hotephir-maat, son of Ramesses II, wrote "Israel's Seed is destroyed (castrated); The Land (Israel-Punt-Retinu) razed to the ground" after Nebuchadnezzar had ransacked Judah in 586 BC. Merneptah is the "Hophra" of Jeremiah 44:30. Hophra is the same name as "Apries", but Grecianised (c.f., Moshe-Moses or Yeshua-Jesus), but placed in the 26th dynasty which is merely a repeat of the 19th (Velikovsky's original claim). Thutmose III (circa 930 BC not 1430 BC) buried Hatshepsut's temple which evokes Solomon's Words "Oh my Dove, you are in the clefts of the rock in the secret places of the stairs (Song of Solomon 2:14).

From these errors in chronology, we (and Egyptologists incidentally who won't admit this in public but only in private colloquia) now realise Egyptian dynasties are placed about 500 or 600 years earlier in time than their true date in history. The 12th dynasty that oppressed Moses' Israelites was only 250 years out of date because the Hyksos who conquered Egypt at the end of that dynasty ruled the country for 400-500 years, a period similar to the length of Roman control of Britain, instead of the 150 generally accredited to them by Egyptologists. Archaeologists known as "Egyptologists" place the ending of the 12th Dynasty at about 1750 when circa 1500 BC (or 1485 BC) is the true date for its collapse. That was when God's plagues destroyed most of "Egypt" before the Hyksos ("Shepherd kings") or Amalekites of the Bible (the "Amu Melech" or "Shepherd kings") finished the place off. The Hyksos-Amalek invasion did not take much effort after God's punishments recorded in Exodus in the Bible.

Probably, after all this, Ramesses II who lived a long life of about 70 years, died in circa 620 BC. He was probably born around 590 BC.

Answer

Sorry could I just point out that according to independent newspapers and the BM itself, the results of the carbon dating FOLLOWED TRADITIONAL CHRONOLOGY(see link at bottom).

Alexander took over Egypt in 332 bc, and between them and Ramasses was approximately 53 pharaohs.

He was born around 1303 bc.

Answer 4

He was born in 1303 and died in 1213. He began ruling in 1279. :-)

Answer 5

He was likely born about 1303 BC, becoming pharaoh in 1279 BC.

Answer 6

frhe ruled during the new kingdom from 1290 to 1224 B.C

Answer 7

1217 BC

Answer 8

1217 BC
