Ramses the Great's Naval Battle of the Delta

In Episode 70 of our Ramses the Great series, we dive into one of the most dramatic yet often overlooked events of his reign: the Naval Battle of the Delta. While the land battle at Kadesh gets all the attention, Ramses also fought a massive riverine engagement against the Sea Peoples in the Nile Delta around 1175 BCE. We explore the tactics, the ships, the weapons, and the aftermath, drawing on the reliefs at Medinet Habu and the records of the Sea Peoples' confederation. Lucas and Luna discuss how Ramses adapted Egypt's military to fight on the water, the role of the Sherden mercenaries who once were enemies, and what this battle meant for Egypt's survival. This episode brings to light a decisive moment that kept the Sea Peoples from conquering Egypt as they did the Hittites and others. #RamsesII #SeaPeoples #NavalBattle #NileDelta #MedinetHabu #Sherden #AncientEgypt #MilitaryHistory #NavalWarfare #BronzeAge #19thDynasty #Kemet #Pharaoh #BattleOfTheDelta #EgyptianNavy #Lukka #Peleset #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
