He was very egotistical and conceited however, but Ramses was considered a god and taught that he was a god as the Pharaoh his whole life, so he would want to be remembered. To his people he was a god and to himself as well. The state of affairs was the best ever during his reign and during the whole ancient history of the country.
Babylonia - one of the most widely renowned ancient civilisations to have ever existed. Known for its impressive walls and buildings and its reputation as a great seat of learning and culture the unique lifestyle and cultural beliefs of the Babylonians still interest historians and compel the world to this day, with their vast legacy still standing over 3000 years onwards. In the 2nd millennium BC, Mesopotamia (an ancient cultural region where Babylonia once stood) was known as the ‘Cradle of Civilisation’. Framed by the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, and the fertile land surrounding, Mesopotamia was a key area for change and development in the ancient Middle East. It included many historically important city states, including Assyria to the north, Elam to the south-east and Babylonia towards the centre.
Effectively, it seems, the pyramid served both as a gigantic training project and - deliberately or not - as a source of 'Egyptianisation'. The workers who left their communities of maybe 50 or 100 people, to live in a town of 15,000 or more strangers, returned to the provinces with new skills, a wider outlook and a renewed sense of national unity that balanced the loss of loyalty to local traditions. The use of shifts of workers spread the burden and brought about a thorough
These temples were not only dedicated to Amon Ra and his family but they also had giant statues showing tribute to Ramses as well. The Karnak and Luxor temples both had areas of Heliopolis which are areas where intelligent people go to talk to other intelligent people. Most of the intelligent people were scribes. Most, if not all, of the writing on the walls and halls of the Karnak and Luxor Temples were engraved by scribes. They were paid more and were highly educated compared to everyone else in Egypt except the Pharaohs and other Scribes.

Over the past years, Egypt developed drastically through their achievements. Egyptians believed kings ruled after death. They built pyramids as a resting place for an Egyptian king.

The Culture of ancient Egypt was born 5000 years ago, and for many centuries powerful rulers called pharaohs ruled the land. The people of ancient Egypt respected their Pharaohs and helped them by constructing the buildings to honor their leaders and gods. This is evident from the remains of the breath taking architecture left behind by their civilization. Today over 80 pyramids remain all over Egypt, most of them found along river Nile up to the capital Cairo. The Egyptian culture mixes African, Asian and European ideas.
However, Rome is no longer the center power of the world, and the bloody trials of the gladiators are a long event of the past. Conversely, what we can see in this modern world is the immense influence of ancient Roman architecture in many of today’s structures. The Romans were considered to be pioneers of structural design. They built upon ideas and techniques of their predecessors, mainly the Greeks and the Egyptians. However, the purpose of the Roman Empire was significantly different than that of the Greeks and Egyptians, due to the swift increase in population and also to display their power to the world.
He provided good food and clothing for his workers and was kindly remembered in folk tales for many centuries. There are three pyramids at Giza, each of which once had an adjoining mortuary temple. Attached to this temple would have been a covered causeway descending down to a valley temple, near the Nile. The 'great' pyramid itself is truly an astonishing work of engineering skill - for over four thousands years, until the modern era, it was the tallest building in the world. The sides are oriented to the four cardinal points of the compass and the length of each side at the base is 755 feet (230.4 m).
