About this listen

While Ramses the Great is remembered for his monuments, battles, and diplomatic feats, one of his most fascinating children was Prince Khaemwaset, a scholarly priest who is often called the world's first Egyptologist. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Khaemwaset's life as a high priest of Ptah in Memphis, his restoration of ancient pyramids and tombs, and his reputation as a magician and sage in later Egyptian folklore. They discuss Khaemwaset's role in the Serapeum, his inscriptions on the Great Sphinx and the Step Pyramid, and the ancient texts where he appears as a trickster figure. This is a story of a prince who looked back at his own country's distant past, preserving monuments that were already a thousand years old. From the hieroglyphs he left behind to the legends that grew around him, Khaemwaset offers a unique window into how the ancient Egyptians viewed their own history.
