Ramses the Great's Sea Peoples: The Naval Invasion That Changed Egypt

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into one of the most dramatic crises of Ramses the Great's reign: the invasion of the Sea Peoples. These mysterious raiders from the Aegean and Anatolia — including the Sherden, Lukka, and Peleset (the biblical Philistines) — swept across the eastern Mediterranean, toppling empires like the Hittites. Ramses faced them in a massive naval battle in the Nile Delta, repelling the invasion but not eliminating the threat. The episode explores who the Sea Peoples were, where they came from, and how Ramses' victory reshaped Egypt's military strategy and left a lasting legacy. Lucas and Luna discuss the evidence from the Medinet Habu reliefs, the possible link to the Trojan War, and the long-term consequences that would eventually set the stage for the Bronze Age Collapse. #SeaPeoples #RamsesII #AncientEgypt #NavalBattle #BronzeAgeCollapse #Sherden #Peleset #Lukka #MedinetHabu #NileDelta #Hittites #Kadesh #NewKingdom #19thDynasty #Kemet #FexingoHistory #History #AncientHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
