Best Answers

Ramses II (1279-1212 B.C.) considered the greatest pharaoh (“great house”) of the Egyptian empire. He ruled Egypt for 60 years and was the only pharaoh to carry the title “the Great” after his name. He had over 90 children: approximately 56 boys and 44 girls. read more

Fort Knox many times more. Nobody is sure about the amount of gold the pharaohs had. But, according to Thomson Reuters GFMS, before 1492 in all the world 12,700 tons of gold had been extracted (according to others, less than 300). read more

As with anything labeled “classified” in the United States, there are plenty of conspiracy theorists who argue that Fort Knox is actually empty and that the gold is held in some secret location or does not exist at all. read more
