  • 210: Ramesses II The Eyes of Ra, The House of Life

    210: Ramesses II The Eyes of Ra, The House of Life
    May 30 2025
    Ramesses goes back to school. Luxor Temple is a magnificent monument, in a city full of them. The sanctuary you visit today is, in large part, the work of Ramesses' early reign. New pylons, colossal statues, obelisks, and dedicatory texts provide the testament to the young pharaoh's work. Exploring these, we also get a surprising insight into temple archives and educational facilities, embodied in the Per-Ankh / House of Life...

  • 209: Ramesses II vs the Sea Peoples

    209: Ramesses II vs the Sea Peoples
    May 16 2025
    Delta raiders. Decades before their famous migrations, the "Sea Peoples" were already active and visible in the eastern Mediterranean; and Ramesses II had his own dealings with these groups. In year 2 of his reign, Ramesses II (Usir-Ma'at-Ra) dealt with a coastal raid by the Sherden, who came from the "islands in the midst" of the sea (which the Egyptians called the "Great Green"). The battle, and its aftermath, is referenced in several of Ramesses' inscriptions. We explore this curious first chapter in the Sea Peoples' story...

  • Thutmose III & Hatshepsut: The New Kingdom Defined with Prof. Aidan Dodson

    Thutmose III & Hatshepsut: The New Kingdom Defined with Prof. Aidan Dodson
    May 9 2025
    The new royal tomb, and how two 18th Dynasty rulers defined the "New Kingdom" as we know it. Prof. Aidan Dodson is a dedicated and prolific scholar, whose research covers many facets of ancient Egyptian history (and even WW1 warships!) His latest book, Thutmose III & Hatshepsut: Pharaohs of Egypt - Their Lives and Afterlives looks at how these two monarchs, and their followers, defined many of the aspects of "pharaonic culture" as we imagine it. Along the way, we also discuss the new royal tomb, its significance, and its connection to these famous figures. Prof. Aidan Dodson at Academia.edu and the University of Bristol.

I’m not an Egyptologist. I’m a lowly attorney who has nothing to do with this topic.
But I’ve listened to 90% of this podcast and I find it amazing!
The man knows his stuff! And it is presented so even I understand it. I look forward to each episode.
I appreciate all the work that goes into each chapter and I look forward to what happens next.
