About this listen

Crown Prince Amunherkhepeshef was Ramses the Great's firstborn son and intended successor, but he died before his father. This episode follows his life: his military training at Kadesh as a child, his role as a diplomat in the Hittite marriage alliance, his titles like 'Overseer of All Works of the King' and 'Generalissimo', and the mystery of his death. We explore the family politics of the Ramesside court, including his mother Nefertari's influence, his rivalry with half-brothers, and the propaganda surrounding his tomb in the Valley of the Queens. Lucas and Luna also consider the evidence for a conspiracy theory involving Queen Isetnofret and the eventual succession by Merneptah. The episode paints a poignant picture of a prince who lived in his father's shadow and never got to rule.
