À propos de ce contenu audio

 In this episode, we explore the monumental reign of Ramesses II, often called Ramesses the Great. We delve into his ambitious building projects across Egypt and Nubia, including the temples at Abu Simbel and the Ramesseum. We also examine the famous Battle of Kadesh against the Hittites, a conflict Ramesses turned into a propaganda victory despite its ambiguous outcome. The episode covers the first recorded peace treaty in history, signed between Ramesses and Hittite king Hattusili III, and discusses Ramesses's unprecedented 66-year reign, his vast family of over 100 children, and how he shaped Egypt's identity for centuries after his death. We also touch on the discovery of his mummy and his legacy as a pharaoh who blended military might with divine kingship.
