Monarch

The Resume

    (1302 BC-1237 BC)
    Ruled as Pharaoh of Egypt from 1292 - 1237 BC
    Second longest reign in Egyptian history

Why he might be annoying:

    He is often associated with reigning during Moses' time, but many Egyptologists have a hard time finding any evidence about that.
    He was made a captain at 10.
    He claimed to have single-handedly fought his way out of a Hittite horde, but Hittite sources claim his army was routed and forced to retreat.
    When he couldn't defeat the Hittites, he decided to marry a Hittite princess as a truce.

Why he might not be annoying:

    At about 6'2, he was extremely tall for his time.
    An analysis of his mummy reveals he was left-handed.
    His family was of non-royal origin.
    He was so in love with his queen, Nefertari, that he dedicated a huge temple in her honor, which still stands today in modern Sudan.
    He was probably one of the last great pharaohs.
