Ramses the Greats Sea Peoples Invasion The Great Collapse

In this episode of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna examine the Sea Peoples invasion during the reign of Ramses II, a pivotal threat that nearly toppled Egypt's New Kingdom. They explore the identity of these mysterious raiders—including the Sherden, Lukka, Peleset, Tjekker, Shekelesh, Denyen, Teresh, and Weshesh—using evidence from the Medinet Habu reliefs and the Papyrus Harris I. The conversation covers Ramses' defensive strategy, the Battle of the Delta in year 8 of his reign, and the geopolitical chaos of the Late Bronze Age Collapse. They also discuss the economic and social strains that Ramses faced, the role of his navy and chariot forces, and the long-term consequences for Egypt, including the eventual decline into the Third Intermediate Period. This episode offers a fresh perspective on a civilization under siege and the forces that reshaped the ancient world. #SeaPeoples #RamsesII #EgyptianHistory #LateBronzeAgeCollapse #MedinetHabu #Sherden #Peleset #Lukka #Tjekker #Shekelesh #Denyen #Teresh #Weshesh #BattleOfTheDelta #PapyrusHarrisI #NewKingdom #NorthAfrica #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
