The document discusses ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II and his rule over Egypt. After defeating the powerful Hittite empire in the Battle of Kadesh, Ramesses had no enemies left to fight. To maintain his authority as a warrior king without battles, he emphasized his religious role and declared himself a living god to remain in power. Reliefs at the Temple of Abu Simbel depict this transition and how Ramesses solved the problem of being too successful a military leader by becoming worshipped as divine.
