Ramses had his people build four identical colossal statues of him all placed NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
Literally, how is it even possible to be that fucking narcissistic and egotistical?
People were so fucking stupid back then.
>>831826
Ancient Egyptian's made their sculptures in a path, look at it linerally and it makes sense
They wanted their names to be known throughout the land and into the afterlife.
And here we are 3500 years later shitposting about him.

How do I deal with this

Find a pond small enough that you can be the biggest fish in it, then wish for luck
>>831906
>The pot calling the ancient pottery black
heh
>>831826
Literally propaganda.
If it wasn't for radio, newspapers, tv and internet, you can bet your ass that politicians would slap up giant statues of themselves everywhere.
Ramesses' narcissism is nothing compared to this guy.
in your opinion who is the greatest egyptian pharaoh of all time?
imo i think its king tut, did you see his amazing death mask
>>831826
If you could have statue of yourself, nvm, 4 fucking statutes of yourself, would you say no? is your self esteem that low?
Yeah modesty
god I loved Timesplitters so much
>>831919
anon thats the source of all dick posturing in shitty places like message boards youtube and even tripfags jockeying for position on 4chan
>>831963
Qin Shih Huangdi's case isn't narcissism. It's paranoia.
New Assassin's Creed game will be set in Ancient Egypt.
Why do I almost exclusively see the word "ego" used as if it were always bad to think of oneself when performing an action? Are you all so stupid that you can only conceive of forms of egoism according to which one cannot ever do anything that is in the interest of another?
>post yfw the Assassin's Creed set in Egypt has a black Pharaoh
>>831826
I think it's a marvel of the ancient world, and probably looked spectacular back in the day.
I also think you're a dimwit egotist yourself, and you have no business posting here.
>>831826
I agree, man.
I can understand one statue, or more statues scattered across the land, but four identical statues, all next to each other? Overdoing it a bit, imo.
>>831826
Alexander the great named at least 20 cities after him, and one after his horse. Try topping that

If anything it is very it is very theocratic, the King was God in the flesh and to turn against the king would be to turn against God because of this order was kept.
Ramesses II was the last OG of Egypt.
>>831913

Proponents of politically charged historical revisions deserve it.
He made them far from the capital up the nile where no priest class or nobles would go
he could only be "egotistical and narcissistic" far from home, it is presumably vain glory but at least it did not hurt people's sensibility back then
only in the modern age these things become confused and somehow ramses the second is "egoistic", in this case they all were, they carved and re-carved the same temples and walls and statues until they ran out of places, rameses was more practical but not more "egoistic"
>>837727
It was more a symbol of might to the Nubian's, and Pharaohs absolutely were "egotistical and narcissistic"in their capitals. The pyramids weren't built that far from Memphis, and they also threw up huge statues of themselves see,
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossi_of_Memnon
When your a physical God on earth there is no such thing as ego.
>>837757
if ramses had build his monuments closer they would have been defaced by successive pharaohs long ago
>>837769
SOmebody in 4chan stole a skull off catacombs ones.
>>837769
It takes about a 4 hour coach trip through the desert from Aswan.
>worth it though
>>837781
Why don't they just build a hotel near one of these places...
>>831826
I hate that they actually moved this thing from its original location, it's not the same.
>>837787
There's not that much else to see that far down as far as I know. Simbel is impressive but from Aswan you can visit Elephantine, Philae and a few other (now former) tourist traps like the Old Cataract hotel so it tends to be as far down as tourists get.
>>837801
Are there any hotels near the pyramids?
>>837803
Never been as I really don't want to go near Cairo, but there are bound to be. There are plenty near the valley of the Kings in Luxor, but if Egypt ever becomes good for tourism again I recommend a cruise down the Nile it stops of at the Temples and sights of interest along the route so you see more of the history.
>>831826
At least Ramses II was greatest from pharaohs.
>>837838
Not this guy,
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thutmose_III
Ramses II is pretty much the last great Pharaoh though after him the New Kingdom goes into decline.

Make merica great again
today i learned ptolemy and cleopatra are more removed chronologically from the first pharaohs than they are from us
literally mindblown
>>839676
Sure, Cleopatra is closer to us if you look at history as a straight line. But that comparison is nothing if we are talking about the history of technology here and how much we advanced in the last 200 years, compared to the people that didn't advance at all in a timeframe between the first pharaohs and Cleopatra.

>he got people to build fuck huge monuments
>stupid
pick one f a m
>>841054
What he was doing was so narrow sighted, just like any of his life goals. He literally gained nothing from it and is now dead just like everyone else.
Those big ass monuments didn't protect him in the afterlife, because there isn't one.
>>841083
someone sounds a little buttered and jelly that he doesn't have hugeass tombs with statues of himself
>>837789
dumb q, but how did they manage to do that?
>>841441
Cutting it into blocks, moving it part by part for 6 months.

This place was built with water so, this is a bunch of crap. They changed the faces because they do not want us to know that they were black people. What makes them think that the God of the Universe will not spike them Dead for trying to erase what God had given them the ability and create. This was the original land that God ordained.
The noses were recreated to make them look like Europeans. These were all black people. The area was a water source for the people.

>>831826
Be butthurt.
The Pharoahs had every right to be egotistical.
At the time, Egypt was one of the strongest countries.
>they wuz kingz and sheeit
>>841514
Ironically, someone who believed in the afterlife was scared shitless of death.
>>841807
That's not ironic at all. People believe threats can hide in darkness, but they're still afraid of distant shadows.
>>841810
That doesn't make any sense.
