Ramses the Great's Divine Birth: The Luxor Temple Theogamy
from Ramses the Great: Egypt's Most Powerful Pharaoh — Fexingo History · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Theogamy relief at Luxor Temple, where Ramses the Great claimed divine birth from the god Amun-Re. They discuss how this propaganda mirrored Hatshepsut's earlier claims, the political context of the 19th Dynasty, and what it tells us about Egyptian kingship. The conversation also touches on the temple's architecture, the role of Queen Tuya, and how Ramses used religion to cement his authority. A brief, candid moment about listener support keeps the show ad-free. #RamsesII #LuxorTemple #Theogamy #DivineBirth #AmunRe #Hatshepsut #EgyptianKingship #NewKingdom #19thDynasty #Propaganda #QueenTuya #Kemet #AncientEgypt #TempleReliefs #Pharaoh #History #FexingoHistory #NorthAfrica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
