Question
Did Kings Ramses II have a deathmask? If he did where can I find a picture of it? Do you know any websites? Also do you know any websites which show King Ramses II coffins and sarcophaguses and how they were put together to equal the final product?

Hello,
Ramses II's tomb was robbed in the antiquity, so all its content is gone, except for some debris and smaller items.
You can find informations about his tomb here:
