What Ramses II Really Looked Like
When Ramses II died, they buried him in the Valley of the Kings. However, they eventually moved his body to a royal cache. Because of looting, they had to move his body, rewrap it, and place it in the tomb of Queen Ahmose Inhapy. Once more, they moved it to the tomb of priest Pinedjem II only 3 days later. The hieroglyphics on his coffin confirm the theory. They found his remains in 1881!
