He is believed to have taken the throne in his early 20s and is known to have ruled Egypt from 1279 BCE to 1213 BCE for a total of sixty-six years and two months, according to both Manetho and Egypt's contemporary historical records. He was once said to have lived to be 99 years old, but it is more likely that he died in his 90th or 91st year. If he became Pharaoh in 1279 BCE as most Egyptologists today believe, he would have assumed the throne on May 31, 1279 BCE, based on his known accession date of III Shemu day 27.
