	Ramesses II: biography and encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The writer Terence Gray stated in 1923 that Ramesses II had as many as 200 sons and 200 daughters; more recent scholars, however, believe his offspring, while numerous, were far fewer.
		Ramesses also campaigned south of the first cataract (additional info and facts about first cataract) into Nubia (An ancient region of northeastern Africa (southern Egypt and northern Sudan) on the Nile; much of Nubia is now under Lake Nasser).
		Each volume encompasses one aspect of Ramesses' known historical life while it is weaved in a fictional tapestry of the ancient world for an epic tale of love, life and deceit.
