how did ramses ii earn the title
amses the great\?
○ he built the pyramids of giza, which still stand today.
○ he defeated the hittites and signed the world’s first known peace treaty.
○ he brought about many religious changes, including the worship of just one god.
○ he was the first ruler to control the flooding of the nile river, saving many lives.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• The Pyramids of Giza were built by earlier pharaohs (like Khufu), not Ramses II. Eliminate this option.
• Ramses II fought the Hittites and later signed the first known peace treaty with them, which is a significant contribution.
• The religious change of worshipping one god was by Akhenaten, not Ramses II. Eliminate this.
• Controlling Nile flooding was not a key contribution of Ramses II (and there's no record of him being the first to do so). Eliminate this.

Answer:

B. He defeated the Hittites and signed the world’s first known peace treaty.
