Tossup

A ruler with this name was planned to be replaced by his son Pentawer in the Harem conspiracy. A capital prefixed “pi-” (“pee”) was built by an eponymous ruler with this name for a campaign whose largest battle was embellished by the scribe Pentaur. Reliefs (10[1])at Medinet Habu record the victories (10[1])of a ruler with this name (10[1])over the invading Sea Peoples. (10[2])Four (-5[1])colossi of a ruler (10[1])with this name flank the entrance of Abu Simbel, which includes a temple for that ruler’s wife, (10[1])Nefertari. (10[1])The longest-reigning (10[1])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.” ■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?”]
