The mummy of Ramses II reveals that he had a strong physique

Ramses II's mummy was kept in the Valley of the Kings after he died at the age of 90. He was thought to have suffered from arthritis and other ailments near the end of his life. Ramses had a beautiful tomb, just like his adored wife's, but it came at a price, and the mummy was eventually transported to another location to keep it secure from robbers.

In 1881, it was unearthed in a hidden royal stash in Deir el-Bahri. The famous pharaoh's mummy was then moved to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo in 1885, where it remains as of 2007. According to extensive research, the great pharaoh possessed keen features, including a powerful jaw and a pointed nose.

Ramses' hair was likewise discovered to be naturally crimson. According to certain historians, he possessed a tall muscular stature, which may be observed in his four massive sculptures erected in Abu Simbel.

The British Museum in London has a statue of Pharaoh Ramesses II known as the Younger Memnon. This statue, which dates from circa 1250 BC, represents him as a wise ruler and a legendary warrior.
