A proposito di questo titolo

This episode dives into Ramses the Great's relentless push south into Nubia, beyond the familiar Nile Delta and Hittite battles. Lucas and Luna explore the economic engine of his reign: the gold mines of the Eastern Desert and the fortress system that secured them. Learn about the massive fort of Buhen, the temple of Beit el-Wali with its rare scenes of Ramses in battle against Nubians, and the sheer scale of tribute extracted from conquered lands. The conversation reveals how Ramses used brutal suppression alongside monument-building to control Nubia, including the deportation of entire tribes and the construction of temples to Ramses himself as a god. They also touch on the role of the Viceroy of Kush, like Setau, who administered this crucial province. This episode connects the dots between the gold that funded Ramses's grandiose projects and the human cost of empire-building, giving listeners a concrete picture of how Egypt's most powerful pharaoh really ran his vast realm.
