King Ramses III is the last of the great pharaohs of Egypt, and during his reign, he experienced endings and disturbances in several countries and kingdoms in the Mediterranean world such as the Trojan War and the fall and flight of many peoples who searched for new homelands, and Egypt was undoubtedly affected by these migrations that came to the Egyptian beaches in search of a homeland New after that was.
The book "Warriors Pharaohs ... Diplomats and Military" says by Dr. Hussein Abdel-Basir, the first four years of the rule of Ramses III were calm, and he began to consolidate his country and continued the policy of his father, the king, Six Nakht to bring stability to Egypt, and there were no problems in Nubia, as there were It was a colony under Egyptian rule, but the Libyans, along with two other disorganized and slave tribes, left the desert and tried to invade the fertile land in the west of the Egyptian Delta, and the Egyptian army immediately suppressed them, and those who were not killed of them were captured and enslaved in Egypt, and since then, The countries neighboring Egypt learned the lesson, and I knew very well that they would not provoke the pharaoh and not provoke his anger, or else he would receive the unspeakable consequences.

The book “The Pharaohs of Warriors” explained, in the eighth year of the rule of Pharaoh Ramses III, large tribes came to Egypt on their way to stability, and the Hittites were destroyed before coming to Egypt, and these tribes or peoples had several names except that the most famous name that was He called it "The Peoples of the Sea", and King Ramses III recorded and photographed his wars and victories on the Peoples of the Sea on the walls of his great funerary temple in Medinet Habu in the western mainland of Luxor.
The king also recorded the text of his wars against them on the outer wall of the second edifice from the northern side, and this text is the longest hieroglyphic text on the temples known to us to date, and the battle against them was depicted on the northern outer wall of the temple.

He continued, "The warrior pharaohs," and on the way of the peoples of the sea to Egypt, stopped in Syria, and advanced towards Egypt by land, and it was not an ordinary war in its traditional sense known to us, but rather was mass migration and displacement, and the goal was stability and residence in Egypt, as people were moving With all its members, women and children, and all their family possessions carried on vehicles pulled by oxen to Egypt, and at sea, the fleet of the peoples of the sea was a camp at sea in order to go to occupy and settle in Egypt.
King Ramesses the Third realized the speed of movement and an end to stop these huge human waves, so military forces were sent on the eastern border points until the Egyptian army was fully brought in, and the war took place on the border, and the invaders were killed as the battle scenes depicted on the Temple of Habu city were photographed. Pharaoh Ramses III fought his war vehicle everywhere in the battle, and was photographed at a larger size than all those involved in the battle according to the rules of ancient Egyptian art.
Dr. Hussein Abdel-Basir added that although the campaign of the wild sea peoples was eliminated, there was still a threat coming from the sea this time, so the fleet of the peoples of the sea entered the eastern Egyptian Delta through one of its branches, but the Egyptian fleet was standing Lookout for him.
Although the ancient Egyptians did not take pride in being great sailors, they fought valiantly to envy them and practiced all the martial arts they knew on land in the face of their enemy in the water, and the ancient Egyptians burned the ships of their enemies under the supervision of the great pharaoh Ramses III, and the ancient Egyptians triumphed over these peoples The attack was a great victory under the banner of the god Amon, the master of the gods of Egypt and Lord of Thebes, Luxor, the Holy, who had all the spoils sent to his temple.
Egypt lived quiet for three years, then the unrest came, this time from the western borders, from the Libyans again, who allied with the Mashwish tribe and five other tribes, and infiltrated as immigrants in the western Delta region of Egypt for some years, but they are in the eleventh year of the reign of King Ramses III It became like an invasion, so the king conquered them and killed about two thousand of them, and took their livestock and possessions as booty for the treasures of the Temple of God Amon.
King Ramesses the Great, who made his great-grandfather, King Ramesses the Second, the great example to follow. He was the best successor to the best predecessor, and he preserved Egypt from the attack of the peoples of the sea and occupied the land of Egypt and settled it and eliminated the great civilization of Egypt, so Ramses III became, in the opinion of Some scholars, the last great king of Egypt.
