His only known date is a Year 1, I Peret day 2 graffito in the tomb of Kyenebu (Theban Tomb 113) at Thebes.

With the victory in the Battle of Djahy and the Battle of the Delta during Year 8 of Ramesses III's reign, Egypt successfully repelled the invading Sea Peoples, protecting Egypt from ruin like other Bronze Age civilizations.

As of Year 28 of his reign, Ramesses II favored the good Amun above all other divinities, as evidenced in the texts of two separate ostraca discovered at Deir el-Medina.
