This podcast episode is about Ancient Egypt and the fall of Ramesses II.
“Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.” Ramesses II reigned as Egypt's unchallenged champion for more than sixty years. But within decades, the dynasty of Egypt’s greatest pharaoh had fallen apart.
In this episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined once again by Dr Campbell Price to chart the reign of Ramesses the Great and how his house descended into slow collapse. From monumental building projects that once proclaimed eternal power to the advent of instability, rebellion and the looming threat of the Sea Peoples, discover how Egypt’s New Kingdom began to fracture under the weight of its own success. This is the dramatic final chapter in the story of the House of Ramesses.
