Was Ramses the great really great?

Ramses the Great, also known as Ramses II, is often considered one of ancient Egypt's most significant pharaohs due to his military conquests, monumental building projects, and long reign of 66 years. He is famous for the Battle of Kadesh and for signing one of the first known peace treaties with the Hittites. His legacy is further cemented by the numerous temples and monuments, including the Ramesseum and the temples at Abu Simbel, which showcase his achievements. While his greatness is celebrated, some historians debate the extent of his accomplishments and the realities of his reign compared to his self-promoted image.
