Ramses the Great and the City of Per-Ramesses: His Delta Capital

We explore the founding, layout, and daily life of Per-Ramesses, the magnificent city Ramses II built as his northern capital. Learn how the city's location near the Nile's Pelusiac branch gave it strategic and economic advantages, how its temples celebrated the gods Amun, Ra, and Seth, and how its massive warehouses and workshops supplied Egypt's army and trade networks. Discover the role of foreign recruits from Canaan and the Sea Peoples in the city's garrison, and the evidence from the 1887 discovery of the city's remains at Qantir. This episode offers a vivid picture of a royal city that was both a political statement and a living metropolis. #PerRamesses #RamsesII #AncientEgypt #Qantir #PelusiacBranch #AmunRa #Seth #NileDelta #EgyptianCapital #19thDynasty #Egyptology #Archaeology #CityPlanning #NewKingdom #AncientHistory #NorthAfrica #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
