The fable of Ozymandias is doubly meaningful. Because Ozymandias was the Greek name for Ramses II, who happened to be

commonly known as Ramesses the Great, was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt. Ramesses II is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, which itself was the most powerful period of ancient Egypt. He is also widely considered one of ancient Egypt's most successful warrior pharaohs, conducting no fewer than 15 military campaigns, all resulting in victories, excluding the Battle of Kadesh, which is generally considered a stalemate. His 66-year rule was also the longest recorded reign of any pharaoh.

He was the epitome of ancient Egypt, which is itself the epitome of ancient civilizations. The dude was fully right to boast after all!

That's true. In the end nothing lasts, not even the greatest achievement magnified one thousand or one billion times. Time and the vast universe will wash away and dilute it all into background noise on any scale you can imagine.

One can only have their time and their space, and no more.
