Rameses statues faces and chest have been recarved. More than half of the statues have been reused. Rameses is always there with the blessing of the gods, and has ruled over egypt for over 70 years. Women acted as rulers in the event there was something wrong with the dynastic line being unable to rule. Women rule a lot during the 18th dynasty. That means that maybe ay wasn"t probably an old man at this point, dies naturally and he has no son to pass his kingship belong to. >> and horemheb, a military man, is able to take it. >> maybe he had eyes blessing, maybe he didn"t.
