His successors often referred him as "Ramses the Great" due to the great wealth he brought the empire is the only thing that makes him memorable since he accomplished very little during his lifetime.

When he died, the village turned forever worshipped him. Upon his death,he shocked the people of Egypt when he had his tomb constructed away from the temple. PHARAOH: The length of Menes's rule in Egypt is highly debated because so little is known of him. Most agree, though, that the year 3000 BCE marks at least some point of his rule. Historians treat Menes rule as the dawn of Egyptian civilization and they even refer to him as the first pharaoh, since it is believed he and Pharaoh Narmer are the same person.

He even 2400 BCE AKHENATEN (EIGNED 1374-1334 BCE) He was the pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, and was famous for ushering in a religious revolution to Egypt. When Akhenaten became pharaoh, Egyptians believed in many gods, but when Akhenaten came into power he introduced the worship of just one god, the Sun God Aten. He built many massive buildings and temples in honor of the Sun God Aten and was responsible for moving the capital from Thebes to Akhetaten. Unfortunately for the pharaoh, his push toward monotheism failed as the people returned their gods upon his death. The empire began to disintegrate during his reign. PHARAOH: (REIGNED KHAFRA 2558-2532 BCE) Khafra was the pharaoh of Egypt. in the fourth dynasty. Like many of Egypt's early pharaohs, he is remembered for his great construction achievements: Khafra was famous for building the Second Pyramid at Giza and the Great Sphinx that guards it.

HATSHEPSUT REIGNED 1498-1483 BCE) She was an Egyptian queen and took charge upon the death of her husband, Thutmose Il, because their son, Thutmose III, was too young to rule. In her joint- rule with her son, she named herself pharaoh and went on to be one of Egypt's most successful. She reigned longer than any other women of the Egyptian dynasty and the walls of her temple show how she led trading expeditions throughout the world. She is often remembered for her unusual clothing- she dressed like a male so others would take a female pharaoh more seriously. THUTMOSE (REIGNED 1475-1425 BCE) Thutmose III became the sixth pharaoh of the 18th dynasty when his father died. Due to his young age, he ruled Egypt along with his step mother, Hatshepsut. for the first twenty-two years of his reign; when she died, Thutmose III gained complete control as pharaoh. He is best remembered as the warrior pharaoh because of his bravery in battle and his unwillingness to stop expanding Egypt. The Egypt empire was the largest it ever was under Thutmose's reign! 1​
