About this listen

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a lesser-known side of Ramses the Great: his masterful diplomacy after the Battle of Kadesh. They unpack the origins of the world's first surviving peace treaty—between Egypt and the Hittite Empire around 1259 BCE. Lucas explains how Ramses turned a military stalemate into a propaganda victory, then solidified it with a marriage alliance to a Hittite princess. The conversation also delves into the poetic inscriptions at Karnak and the Ramesseum, where Ramses spun the battle as a personal triumph, and the role of Queen Nefertari in diplomatic correspondence. Along the way, they touch on the Egyptian-Hittite silver tablet treaty, the god Ra's symbolism, and how Ramses built his legacy through stone and story, not just swords.
