Ramesses ii-ramesses ii or ramses ii was also called called ramesses the great, he lived to be 96 years old and had many wives, sons and daughters. the hittites and other empires from the middle east started to pay tribute to egypt during the reign of pharaoh thutmosis iii; the hittites maintained control of northern syria. the battle of qadesh involved the egyptian pharaoh ramses ii and the hittite emperor muwatallis ii, it had uncertain results as both kings claimed victory. muwatallis died shortly after the battle. some time after this batlle, the new hittite emperor, hattusil iii, and ramses ii agreed on a peace treaty between the two empires. this treaty is considered by many as being the first official treaty ever made because it was drawn up in the international diplomatic language of the time called akkadian.
