About this listen

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the decline of Egypt's New Kingdom, focusing on the reign of Ramesses III, the last great pharaoh of the era. They discuss his naval battle against the Sea Peoples in the Nile Delta around 1177 BCE, the economic crisis exacerbated by the rising cost of grain and the corruption of tomb builders, the first recorded labor strike in history at Deir el-Medina, and the assassination plot in the Harem Conspiracy. The conversation also touches on the broader Bronze Age Collapse that swept the eastern Mediterranean, the role of the god Amun's priesthood gaining power, and how Ramesses III's successors in the 20th Dynasty struggled to hold onto a crumbling empire. Unlike earlier episodes that covered the Old Kingdom collapse or the Ptolemaic era, this episode zeroes in on the specific 12th-century BCE crisis that marked the end of Egypt's imperial golden age.
