Per-Ramesses: Ramses the Great's Lost Capital City
from Ramses the Great: Egypt's Most Powerful Pharaoh — Fexingo History · host Fexingo
In this episode of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna explore the construction and splendor of Per-Ramesses (Pi-Ramesses), the magnificent capital city built by Ramses the Great in the Nile Delta. We discuss why Ramses moved the capital from Thebes, the urban planning that included canals, gardens, and temples, and the multicultural population of soldiers and diplomats from across the ancient Near East. The city's decline after Ramses' reign and its rediscovery at the site of Tell el-Dab'a and Qantir are also covered. Join us for a journey into the heart of Ramses' empire — a city that embodied his vision of power, trade, and divine rule. #PerRamesses #PiRamesses #RamsesII #AncientEgypt #Kemet #DeltaCapital #UrbanPlanning #TellElDaba #Qantir #PapyrusAnastasiIII #Sherden #Hittites #Canaanites #NewKingdom #19thDynasty #FexingoHistory #History #Archaeology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
