Sumerians Looked to the Heavens as They Invented the System of Time… And We Still Use it Today. One might find it curious that we divide the hours into 60 minutes and the days into 24 hours - why not a multiple of 10 or 12? Put quite simply, the answer is because the inventors of time did not operate on a decimal (base-10) or duodecimal (base-12) system but a sexagesimal (base-60) system. For the ancient Sumerian innovators who first divided the movements of the heavens into countable intervals, 60 was the perfect number. The number 60 can be divided by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30 equal parts. Moreover, ancient astronomers believed there were 360 ​​days in a year, a number which 60 fits neatly into six times. The Sumerian Empire did not last. However, for more than 5,000 years the world has remained committed to their delineation of time.

Ramesses the Great, also known as Ramses II, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of ancient Egypt. He ruled for approximately 66 years, from 1279 BC until 1213 BC.
He is one of the most famous pharaohs, thanks to the numerous remnants that exist from his active reign.
The reign (1279-1213 B.C.) during which he ruled was the longest reign in the history of Egypt.
The meaning of his name is “Keeper of Harmony and Balance, Strong in Right, Elect of Ra.”

𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞

Ramses II was the son of Pharaoh Seti I and his Great Royal Wife, Tuya.
Contrary to popular belief, he was not an only child. It is known that he had at least two sisters and apparently a brother named Nebchasetnebet, who died before reaching adulthood. As a result, Ramses II automatically became the heir of Seti I.
Since childhood, he was involved in military activities due to his family’s military background.
Seti I appointed Ramses as co-regent when he was around fourteen years old. He received extensive training from the same pharaoh and various masters in the arts and sciences.
The co-regency lasted between three and seven years, although there are no reliable sources on this subject.
By the age of fifteen or sixteen, Ramses II already had authority over a portion of the army. Inscriptions from that time describe him as a “clever young leader.” At that point, he was already married and a father of four children.
During the co-regency period, there were few military issues, and Ramses II also carried out civilian tasks as his father’s delegate. These tasks included supervising temple construction and overseeing the extraction of construction materials from the quarries of the southern empire.

During his reign as pharaoh, one of Ramesses II’s greatest achievements was leading the Egyptian army against several enemies, including the Hittites, Syrians, Libyans, and Nubians.
He expanded the Egyptian empire and secured Egypt’s borders against attackers. One of the most famous battles during Ramses’ rule was the Battle of Kadesh.
Ramesses II is renowned for his extensive building programs and the abundance of colossal statues of himself found throughout Egypt.
Among Ramesses II’s construction projects, many large monuments were built, including the archaeological complex of Abu Simbel and the Mortuary Temple known as the Ramesseum.
He even built on a monumental scale to ensure that his legacy would endure over time.
“Ramesses II also erected more colossal statues of himself than any other pharaoh.”

01 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝗜 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵
Ramesses II led a massive Egyptian force, but Hittite spies tricked him into thinking the Hittite chariots were hundreds of kilometers away.

02 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸
Muwatalli and a battalion of 2,500 Hittite chariots were waiting in the forests on the other side of Kadesh.
The Egyptian divisions were miles from camp when they were broadsided by a charge of Hittite charioteers. The Egyptians fled with the Hittites hot on their heels.

03 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀’ 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱
The Hittite chariots crashed through the half-prepared defenses of Ramesses’ camp and charged toward the royal tents.
According to Ramesses’ account, he was able to fight off the Hittite hordes single-handedly. Others credit his elite corps of bodyguards.

04 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
Egyptian military strategists had foreseen the threat of an ambush and shipped a chariot division to Kadesh by sea.
The reinforcements send Muwatalli’s forces retreating across the Odontes River.

05 𝗙𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱
The next day, the forces faced off for the battle that would decide supremacy.
But both sides had sustained so many casualties the day before that neither had anything left and, after fruitless bloodshed, a ceasefire was called.

The eternal treaty or the silver treaty is considered to be The Egyptian–Hittite peace treaty and is the only ancient African treaty for which both sides’ versions have survived. This treaty occurred in 1259 B.C.
The reason why it is known with the name silver treaty is because it was written on silver tablets and later translated from those tablets for further research and study.
These silver tablets were discovered in 1828 (Egyptian) and 1906 (Hittite). Its current location is at Istanbul Archaeology Museums and Precinct of Amun-Re in Karnak.
At 1259 B.C. Ramses II, along with Emperor Hattusilis III have concluded one of the oldest peace treaties in the history of this world.
The peace treaty ended the Egyptian Hittite war that lasted more than 80 years and is considered one of the prime examples in diplomatic history.
There was a treaty that was signed between the Hittie Empire and the Egyptians, to end up warship as both of them had several wars between each other for centuries in order to rule over the kingdom.
Since the Egyptian-Hittite is also known as treaty of Kadesh, it actually relates to the battle of Kadesh resulted in both sides with caused both of the sides to suffer a lot however, neither of the sides were able to prevail decisively in either the battle or the war.
This conflict remained in both of the sides for about fifteen years before the treaty was signed.
Even if the treaty was signed after the battle, it is still known to be as “Treaty of Kadesh” just because of that peace to occur between the two sides and war to stop however, it is stated that the treaty itself did not bring peace along with it, in fact it brought “an atmosphere of enmity between Hatti and Egypt that lasted many years,” until the eventual treaty of alliance was signed.

Cleopatra ascended the throne at the age of 17 and died at the age of 39. She spoke 9 languages. She knew the language of Ancient Egypt and had learned to read hieroglyphics, a unique case in her dynasty. Apart from this, she knew Greek and the languages ​​of the Parthians, Hebrews, Medes, Troglodytes, Syrians, Ethiopians, and Arabs.
With this knowledge, any book in the world was open to her. In addition to languages, she studied geography, history, astronomy, international diplomacy, mathematics, alchemy, medicine, zoology, economics, and other disciplines. She tried to access all the knowledge of her time.
Cleopatra spent a lot of time in a kind of ancient laboratory. She wrote some works related to herbs and cosmetics. Unfortunately, all her books were destroyed in the fire of the great Library of Alexandria in 391 AD. C. The famous physicist Galen studied her work, and was able to transcribe some of the recipes devised by Cleopatra.
One of these remedies, which Galen also recommended to her patients, was a special cream that could help bald men regain their hair. Cleopatra's books also included beauty tips, but none of them have come down to us.
The queen of Egypt was also interested in herbal healing, and thanks to her knowledge of languages, she had access to numerous papyri that are lost today. Her influence on the sciences and medicine was well known in the early centuries of Christianity. She, without a doubt, is a unique figure in the history of humanity.
