Abstract
This paper aims to study an alabaster pedestal of Ramses II, preserved in the World Museum (Liverpool 1966.159). Currently displayed in the Ancient Egypt Gallery, Level 3, World Museum[NMGM Liverpool 66.159/ Liverpool Museum 03/061]. This pedestal has been found in Antinoopolis (El-Sheikh ʽAbadah, El-Minya, Middle Egypt). It is inscribed with lines and columns of Hieroglyphic inscriptions written in vertical and horizontal ways, which refer to the nicknames of Ramses II and the Nine Bows, the conventional enemies of the ancient Egyptians.
