Round 1: Tossup 15

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 at Medinet Habu record the victories of a ruler with (10[1])this name over the invading Sea (10[1])Peoples. Four colossi (10[1])of a ruler (10[2])with this name flank the entrance (10[1])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. (10[1])For 10 points, give (10[1])this name of a 19th-dynasty pharaoh known as “the Great.” ■END■
