Ramses' Chariot Corps: The Speed of Empire

The chariot corps was the elite strike force of Ramses the Great's army, a mobile platform that dominated battlefields from Nubia to Syria. In this episode, we explore the organization of the maryannu—the chariot warrior aristocracy—and the sophisticated breeding and training programs at Per-Ramesses. Lucas and Luna discuss the role of horses in Egyptian warfare, logistics of maintaining hundreds of chariots, and how Ramses' reforms created a cavalry arm that gave Kemet strategic reach. We also touch on the stables discovered at Qantir and the finer points of composite bow use from a moving chariot. If you've ever wondered how the Egyptians turned horse and rider into a thunderous weapon of empire, this is for you. #RamsesII #AncientEgypt #ChariotWarfare #Maryannu #PerRamesses #Horses #MilitaryHistory #Kemet #Pharaoh #NewKingdom #Logistics #HorseBreeding #Nubia #Syria #Sinai #WarChariots #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
