The calculations of astronomers in ancient Egypt, says that the combination of the emergence of the star which determines the arrival of a flood of the Nile with the planets that determine the start of religious year and the beginning of the agricultural year is not happening only once every 1461 years and that this association trio, expecting an important event will happen on the ground, and was Ramses II often boasts that this pairing happened in in 1317 BC. m and that the important event is the birth in in 1315 BC.

 Battle of Kadesh


The king of the Hittites Mhalvat contract with the princes of the Syrian cities against Egypt, re "Ramses II" was an army of 20,000, marched the army, breaking the Sinai Peninsula, Palestine, and met Balehithein and pounced on them and defeated them defeat the evil. Avronah sources mention that the king of the Hittite king because of his defeat had to make peace, and agreed "Ramses II, but the references indicate the Hittites to the face of another reality."

The first mention of the Hittites in the historical references was at the hands of historians of the pharaoh Ramses II, who confirmed his victory over the armies of the Hittites in the Battle of Kadesh. According to Gies' «that these inscriptions as pharaonic propaganda false because it has no connection with reality. The truth Angelt after the discovery of the Hittite civilization and read historical references. Rameses II had lost in Cadiz, and could scarcely save himself and the rest of his armies. But that battle was the great importance of the history of civilizations, which signed a peace treaty, and from then knew the tranquility and centuries of military and economic cooperation ».





«Htoshh» is the capital of the Hittites. Located in the heart of Anatolia, and at an altitude of 900 meters from the sea surface. Which is now known as Castle strait was classified by UNESCO on the list of World Heritage. I have discovered ancient city Htoshh in 1834, and since 1904 has not stopped archaeological excavations within the city walls built by the department into two parts. In the lower part adopted by the builders on the rocks, mud walls built above. The archaeologists had rebuilt the walls of this part of the experiment to estimate the difficulty of the work and the time required for completion of the walls may extend for a distance of 2 km.Nine major sections of the city up to the outside world, three of which were decorated Bnhot to black and the other for a god. The meaning of these inscriptions: they protect the city in the event of an attack. In religious traditions, different from the rest of the Hittites civilizations and ancient peoples, the number of gods that they worship more than one thousand, and they change and vary according to the names of kings and conquests. Valgesaon «adopt» the gods of other peoples gods to them. But despite these changes remains god sun and weather for the most important to them.



Came back the third king of the Hittites Hatossells after the Battle of Kadesh provoke unrest against Egypt again in the Levant, Vharabh "Ramses II" The war continued for fifteen years to request that the king of the Hittites of the peace. Held between the "Ramses II" and the king of the Hittite treaty of alliance and friendship which he pledged to each other not to abuse, and the restoration of friendly relations, and help each other in case of being attacked by another country. This is the oldest treaty written in an international treaty in history. The provisions of this Treaty: "the gods do not allow the hostility between the two countries, will not be abused Khitta King of the land of Egypt ..., will not be assaulted on the land of Ramses Khitta ...."
 His marriage and the religious rites of the god Amun, for the life of his children  






Was Ramses II in sixteen years old when he married Nefertari Munmut was to beautiful city of Thebes is going on in her veins the blood royal, or of a family no less nobility of the family of Ramses II and remained the wife's main even after married another, and was nicknamed Princess genetic Lady of Egypt the top and bottom and a woman of any earthly king on an equal footing, which was known as the master of earthly.
And his wife was carrying and giving birth and given to the generator name, but not soon to die, repeat this several times, in the nineteenth Rizk Bold called (Khamoa six I) did not live only a few months and then died, and was born a year later (Amon Khrkhbashv I) were soon that died as well, and repeated this several times.


Nefertari it is still a crown prince. Then officially took office at the age of 23, and repeated births and deaths of newborns, it is possible that the mother was a carrier of the virus Cytomegalo virus CMV, because children have been born then caught the virus from the mother and cause of death in children at an early age. And most likely, according to customs of the human in front of the issues that disobeying the understanding, made up the doctors explanation for the death of early times that the air good for Aalaúm wife and perhaps this was one of the reasons for his thinking in the transfer of capital to the Lower, and sometimes he was injured in the eye of evil of his children, and Egypt was known spells of magic and eye and has several forms of spells, including a beautiful bracelet in the form of a blue eye (see photo), reminds us of our existing habits now, such as "Bead Alrozka" from envious eye. Like any father in such a situation has turned to the gods Istatafha and kneel before it and present sacrifices and hopes it to live his sons Fenrah kneel before the god (Thoth) offers his incense, and compare this (modesty) clearly in during his coronation) by the gods (Horus) and (six) have been drawing the same size as the same gods, and had to make the populated stands on a piece of stone not to be forced because the leans during the development of the crown it! In one we see sculptures offers flowers to the gods (Horus and Horus Miem Baki and Horus Bohn) (the god Horus to associate three different regions) and in the other we see carved kneeling offers bread and wine and bird offerings to the god (Amon) in the form of a man with a hawk. In sculpture we see other offers statue (Maat) to the god (Thoth) Ashmunein Lord, and so did not leave God in the north or the south, and only asked him to keep him on his sons.

Appointed mascot envy his wife Nefertari and then began to frequent the temples, pleading with the gods are hereafter to live their children. Progress as we see flowers and fruits to the gods (and St. Khnum and scolded). In sculpture the other we see in front of god Thoth) and in the last we see offer flowers to the goddess (Hathor) in the form of the cow and carved another painted it the dance ritual and provides a high priest a bundle of wheat for the bull (Kahj) (a manifestation of the god "Min"), and statues of kings ancestors at the bottom of the picture and bull Kahj represents the power and the bully and youth, and the only explanation for the development of these fees in one panel but pleading with the gods to have their children in such strength and youthfulness bull Kahj to live and become her sons kings like it was for the ancestors.
We note that Ramses II and his wife were opting gods that have a relationship with fertility, motherhood, young people and the power which that can bring them to their demands, Valelh (Min) is the greatest God who was worshiped in the region of Akhmim and Thebes and Armant, he was representing, led by two blades Aalitan, raising his right arm and gripping a whip of branches and a triangle standing upright as it was considered a god of fertility and women who steal Mr. virgins and the legends tell his mother that he had the most fertile!! He is also the god of fertility of the land and the worship of the harvest is abundant, as well as the choice of Nefertari of the goddess (Hathor) to worship them, they are women goddesses, the goddess of love is of God Merry favorite in women and they call it (gold) and called on the Greek (Aphrodite). The women celebrate the establishment of ballroom dancing, singing and playing Balsajat and rattles Baklaúdhen and playing the tambourine, a mother to the son of God is (EGY), but it is also a symbol of motherhood and the many children, have called the people to their daughters (Alhathorat seven) and who were Ihaman children and Atenbon the future of every new born baby .
As well as the worship of Ramses II of the gods (Thoth) and (Amon) and perhaps his choice of these gods was to his mind the story of the birth of Queen Hatshepsut and the story says (Adolf Erman. The religion of ancient Egypt, p. 64) The god Amun wanted to have children the property and asked the gods companions protect the king expected .. The choice of Amon woman who wants to have children, the wife of Thutmose III Vtqmus the form of her husband, King Thutmose Thoth, and led him to the king, and she conceived and announced (Amon) that his daughter Hatshepsut, will occupy the highest office in the country and derived from the spirit and strength and will control the two countries. And another story written says that (Petah Tattenn) had confirmed to Ramses II, "has wrapped image of Tess Mendes, and lay down next to your mother's beautiful to Tldk become your users are all divine," and this story is a code over the walls of the temple of Abu Simbel built by Ramses II, and (goat) here symbol of fertility and perhaps Ramses II was asked to take on one of the gods that his body, even having children of his wife Nefertari divine son does not die and live to become heir to the throne and Iatlah!
Second wivesRamses II married - after about 8 years of his marriage Bnfrtari and had reached almost 24 years - married wives of CO which alienated the east and perhaps the hopes of the boy, but the tragedy was repeated, with them, which is likely a virus Albera moved from Ramses. , Her children were born and die at an early age, not least because of the Merenptah, who was ranked the 13 princes, he became crown prince because his brothers were twelve who died Asbakouna ranked all.
