About this listen

In this pilot episode, hosts Lucas and Luna set the stage for a deep dive into the life and legacy of Ramses II, also known as Ramses the Great. They open in the Nile Delta around 1274 BCE, as Ramses prepares for the Battle of Kadesh against the Hittite Empire. From there, they pull back to explore the broader context of Egypt's Nineteenth Dynasty, the challenges Ramses faced as a young pharaoh, and his monumental building projects, including the temples of Abu Simbel. The conversation touches on the complexities of Ramses' reign—his military campaigns, diplomatic marriages, and the propaganda that shaped his image as a god-king. They also hint at future episodes that will delve into his family life, his mummy, and the legacy that earned him the title 'the Great.' This episode is a rich introduction for anyone fascinated by ancient Egypt and the rulers who defined an era.
