Tossup

A ruler with this name was planned to be replaced by his son Pentawer in the Harem conspiracy. A capital prefixed “pi-” (-5[1])(“pee”) was built by an eponymous ruler with this name for a campaign whose largest battle was embellished by the scribe Pentaur. Reliefs at Medinet Habu record the victories of a ruler with this name (10[1])over the invading Sea Peoples. Four colossi of a ruler with this name (10[1])flank the entrance of Abu Simbel, which includes a temple for that ruler’s wife, Nefertari. The longest-reigning ruler of the New Kingdom had this name and was referred to by the Greeks as Ozymandias. For 10 points, give this name of a 19th-dynasty pharaoh known as “the Great.” (10[1])■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: Ramesses [or Rameses or Ramses; accept Ramesses the Great; accept Ramesses II or Ramesses III; prompt on Ozymandias until read by asking “what was his regnal name?”]
