Because he was the first pharaoh onions were used in place of eyes!
his hands were the first not holding the scepters tightly!
his face was covered with mud when mummy unraveled in front of King of egypt in 1888!, He is the LAST great pharaoh!
he ruled for 31 years and a pharaoh died before him after moses departure from egypt! a coup d etat brought the 20th dynasty and replaced the dynasty of the family of moses (his adoptive mother was the daughter of ramesses ii)
Counting 400 years for the time of Judges is wrong ( this time is mentioned in Judges and Chronicles which are not a real bible but faked up by rabbies at time of jesus 1200 years later along with parts of Genesis! Judges could not be over hundred years atb most! so moses was 150 years before Solomon 1150 BC time of death of Ramesses iii! a lot of salt was found covering Ramesses iii mummy in particular according to a book written by a English physician who worked for 30 years unrapping and studying mummies early twentieth century!Ramesses iii died 2 weeks away from the place of embalming in Luxor, in two weeks the hands became stif and could not be molded to catch the septers! his corpse became rigid in two weeks in the trip that brought his dead body from the drawning site to his castle! salt and mud! nobody dared to take the mud off him because he was God to embalmers!
