Ramses the Great's Royal Wives: Nefertari and Beyond

In this episode of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna explore the often-overlooked women in Ramses the Great's life — not just the famous Nefertari, but also Queen Tuya, Isetnofret, Maathorneferure, and the harem conspiracy. They discuss Nefertari's political influence, her temple at Abu Simbel, and her letters to the Hittite queen Puduhepa. They also examine Isetnofret's role as mother of the crown prince, the diplomatic marriage to a Hittite princess, and the little-known harem plot that threatened Ramses' succession. Along the way, they touch on how royal women wielded power through religion, diplomacy, and family ties in 19th Dynasty Egypt. This episode offers a fresh angle on Ramses' reign by focusing on the women who shaped it. #RamsesII #Nefertari #Isetnofret #Maathorneferure #QueenTuya #Puduhepa #AbuSimbel #HaremConspiracy #19thDynasty #NewKingdom #Kemet #PerRamesses #EgyptianQueens #AncientEgypt #History #FexingoHistory #WomenInHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
