As you say; there's no evidence of such an exodus of what would have been a majority of the population of Egypt at the time. I think that during the Bronze Age collapse, not too many years after Ramesses II, there were those who left Egypt, and migrated to Canaan, telling stories of liberation. And, I think that's the deeper meaning of the Biblical Exodus; liberation - from slavery, from 'sin', from oneself, even.
Great video, very informative. I think he is associated with the king in the Book of Exodus purely because he is such a famous pharaoh, and had a long reign. People tend to try to pull down successful historical figures - if history claims they were great, dissenters will look for all the reasons they weren't so great, but I think Ramesses earned that title. He was undoubtedly a remarkable figure who left an incredible legacy.
This is what happens when you have no knowledge of what you talk about and make wild speculations with zero basis in facts. Ramses is a Hellenised name of rꜥ-ms-sw which is pronounced as Rīʿa-məsī-sū, which means Ra is the one who bore him. Mere surface similarities don't make something related. There's nothing that connected Ramayana and Egyptian Pharoahs.
@@feelgoodbeats9376 ohh let me guess, you must be another smart ass. who believes everything that was written in a book, which was written by some archaeologist guy, who assumed something about history. Or maybe you were present in the time of ramesses II?
Why do you think Ramesses the Great is associated with the king in the Book of Exodus?
Never mind that there's absolutely no evidence for anything in the book of Exodus let alone Moses etc

Hi Kelly. Great vid. :)
almost hard to believe than ancient egypt civilization lasted as long as everything else after them right to our era
It certainly is remarkable, isn't it!
96 years? that's remarkable for the ancient times
Yes, it certainly is! Thanks for watching! :)
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia if i were ancient egyptian i'd probably see him as a god for that lol
@@GeoffryGifari the ancient Egyptians weren't stupid or primitive
@@Texasmade74 never said they were
isn't ramesses II the pharaoh on which the poem 'ozymandias' is based on?
Ozymandias was a Greek name for Ramesses II!
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
Indian Ramayana story is inspired by Egyptian Ramses I, Ramses II, III...XI' histories

So the writers of the bible couldn't get the creator of the universe to divulge the name of an important pharaoh?
Ramesses II the Tyrant. He was one of the biggest tyrant in human history.
Everyone will have different opinions on him.
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia yea just like you guys calling a tyrant great. this guy was so arrogant, that he claimed himself god.
you talk nonsense
