Statue of Ramses III bearing the standard of Amun topped with a ram's head was dedicated by the King to the temple of Amun-Ra at Karnak and placed at its entrance. Ramses III was the last of the great pharoahs to rule Egypt. He was King during the New Kingdom and ruled for 31 years. In the fifth year of his reign he defeated an attack by the Libyans. During his rule the Mediterainian area was in turmoil, due to wars and the fall of Mycenae and crop failures. Great numbers of people were made homeless and desperate. A large group of these people, known as the Sea People had already decimated the Hittite Empire and they were on the move to Egypt, where they were defeated on land and sea by the military skill of Ramses III. The rest of his reign was peaceful and Egypt flourished.

Later, one of his minor wives conspired to have Ramses killed, so her son could take the throne. Ramses died before the trial of the conspirators was over and some thought that he had been poisoned. Ramses III had ruled for 31 years and his death marked an end to an era. He was buried in the Valley of the Kings on the West Bank at ancient Thebes.
