    Who died peacefully at age 87, had over a hundred children and was called the great builder?

    • Ramesses II

    • Tutankhamen

    • Osiris

    • Menes

    • Hatshepsut

    Correct Answer
    A. Ramesses II
    Explanation
    Ramesses II is the correct answer because he is known to have lived until the age of 87, which is considered a relatively old age for that time period. He is also known for having a large number of children, with estimates ranging from 100 to 200 offspring. Ramesses II is often referred to as the "great builder" because he commissioned numerous construction projects, including the famous temples at Abu Simbel and the Ramesseum. This combination of factors makes Ramesses II the most likely candidate for the individual described in the question.
