A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the reign of Ramesses II, one of Egypt's most prolific and self-mythologizing pharaohs. They start by setting the stage after the Amarna period—Tutankhamun's restoration of Amun, the Horemheb interlude, and the rise of the 19th Dynasty under Seti I. Then they dive into Ramesses II himself: his unprecedented building projects from Abu Simbel to the Ramesseum, his use of propaganda on temple walls, the Battle of Kadesh against the Hittites (which he turned into a personal victory despite strategic stalemate), and the world's first known peace treaty. Lucas explains the logistics of moving colossal statues, the role of the sun god Ra in Ramesses' self-deification, and the king's astonishing lifespan—dying in his 90s after a 66-year reign. Luna asks about his hundreds of children, the fate of his mummy, and the historical accuracy of his 'divine birth' claims. The episode closes with a reflection on how Ramesses' legacy was consciously crafted to endure millennia.
