Usermaatre Meryamun, better known as Ramses III (1184 – 1,153 BC), was the second and most important king of the Twentieth Dynasty (1186 – 1,069 BC).
The particularities of his extensive reign, the significance of his military victories against the so-called “Sea Peoples”, and the magnificent state of preservation of his funerary temple in Medinet Habu (Western Thebes) made him one of the most important pharaohs of all the period of the Egyptian New Kingdom (approx. 1,550 – 1,069 BC).
