Podcasts about Ramesses II

Hi everyone! My friend Dominic at THoE and I are doing a feed-swap this week. It's a great chance to introduce you to his new set of episodes on the pharaoh Ramesses II. More details from Dominic below. Enjoy! - Scott C. In a land famous for its monarchs – the legendary pharaohs – there is no one quite like Ramesses II. He might be the most famous of all, and we know a heck of a lot more about Ramesses than other rulers like Tutankhamun or Cleopatra VII. Now, after twelve years of narrative history, The History of Egypt Podcast is finally beginning the reign of this immortal monarch. The age of Ramesses defines much of what scholars and historians know about ancient Egypt; from the construction of temples and monuments, to the daily life of ordinary citizens… The History of Egypt Podcast is exploring all of it, in as much detail as possible. Along the way, we'll explore tales like the Battle of Kadesh, when Egypt and the Hittites went head-to-head in bloody conflict; or the Biblical Exodus – did it really happen, and what do we know about it? We'll visit monuments like Abu Simbel and the famed Ramesseum, home of the largest statues ever built in Egyptian history. And throughout these tales, we'll meet ordinary folks, in different walks of life, who left their mark on history.

Delta raiders. Decades before their famous migrations, the "Sea Peoples" were already active and visible in the eastern Mediterranean; and Ramesses II had his own dealings with these groups. In year 2 of his reign, Ramesses II (Usir-Ma'at-Ra) dealt with a coastal raid by the Sherden, who came from the "islands in the midst" of the sea (which the Egyptians called the "Great Green"). The battle, and its aftermath, is referenced in several of Ramesses' inscriptions. We explore this curious first chapter in the Sea Peoples' story...

A death at Karnak, and a lion amongst men. In regnal year 1 (c.1292 BCE), Ramesses II was at Abdju / Abydos. While there, he appointed a new First Priest of Amun (Hem Netjer Tepy en Imen). He chose his candidate by consulting the deity directly, engaging in an oracle with Amun to choose the best option. Shortly after, Ramesses departed Abdju and continued his northward journey. Eventually, he came to Giza, home of the Great Sphinx and the deity that inhabited it... The History of Egypt Podcast: Website: www.egyptianhistorypodcast.com.

Ramesses had a lot to plan for, in his first year of rule (c.1292 BCE). Staying in Waset / Luxor, the new pharaoh began building work on his tomb (KV7) and his memorial temple (The Ramesseum). Archaeological records testify to both of these projects. Then, the King immortalised his late father, the Osiris Sety I, in scenes of worship at Karnak. Finally, Ramesses left Waset, heading north; but he stopped at Abdju / Abydos on his way. There to commune with Osiris (Sety) once more, and to address some glaring issues...

In the annals of Egyptian history there is no one quite like Ramesses II. He is arguably the most famous, or infamous, of Egypt's pharaohs. His reign would be long (67 years!) and his influence would be incalculable. In this episode, Ramesses "appears" as King, following the death of his father (III Shemu 27). He chooses his royal names (Usir-Ma'at-Ra, Ramesses Beloved of Amun). He buries Sety, in the Valley of the Kings. And he goes before the gods to receive blessings and power...

Send us a textStepping back into ancient Egypt, we explore DreamWorks Animation's biblical epic "The Prince of Egypt" (1998) – a film that masterfully blends breathtaking animation with powerful storytelling to bring the Exodus narrative to life.This cinematic journey through Moses' story features a truly remarkable voice cast that surprised even our hosts. Val Kilmer pulls double duty as both Moses and God (creating a fascinating dynamic during the burning bush scene), while stars like Ralph Fiennes, Jeff Goldblum, Patrick Stewart, Sandra Bullock, Helen Mirren, and the comedy duo of Steve Martin and Martin Short bring depth and personality to this ancient tale. The revelation of who voiced which character had our hosts pausing the movie in amazement!What truly sets this film apart is its visual artistry. Twenty-five years later, the animation still captivates with its blend of traditional 2D techniques and subtle 3D elements. From the haunting sequence of baby Moses floating down the Nile to the spectacular parting of the Red Sea, the film's artistic vision creates moments of genuine awe. We discuss how specific scenes – like the transformation of water to blood that spares Moses himself – demonstrate the filmmakers' exceptional attention to detail and creative interpretation of biblical miracles.While the film takes creative liberties with its source material (Moses was supposedly 80 years old during the Exodus!), we explore how these changes serve the narrative while maintaining the spiritual essence of the story. We even delve into fascinating historical theories about which actual Egyptian pharaoh might have ruled during these events – was it really Ramesses II as depicted, or perhaps the mysterious Dudimose whose reign coincided with Egypt's decline?Have you revisited this animated masterpiece recently? We'd love to hear your thoughts! Leave us a five-star review or join the conversation about biblical adaptations, animation techniques, or which scene still gives you chills decades later.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbATwitch (Anthony):https://www.twitch.tv/odysseywowSupport the show

VIDEO VERSION available at my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/sety-i-and-of-116422687. In 1881, a remarkable discovery took place in Luxor, Egypt. In the hills of Deir el-Bahari, a secret tomb held the reburied mummies of Egypt's famous pharaohs. Figures like Sety I, Ramesses II, Thutmose III, and Amunhotep I lay in rest, in carefully hidden coffins. However, the caskets themselves hold many secrets, which today's guest has spent years exploring.

Traditionally, Egyptian princes are almost invisible. The pharaohs downplayed the presence of their sons, to reduce political competition and maintain religious order. Sety I (c.1300 BCE) changed this habit. In art and monuments, he promoted young Ramesses II to a position of prominence and power. The exact nature of this promotion is slightly controversial among Egyptologists. In this episode, we explore Ramesses' rise and some of the thorny issues. Additionally, Prof. Peter Brand joins us to discuss some of the harder questions on these period. Peter Brand, The Monuments of Sety I (2000), available free at Academia.edu.

Det händer något väsentligt när den grå forntiden antar mänsklig skepnad, när individer framträder inför våra blickar – när Ramses II:s mumifierade kropp möter oss avlindad på museet i Kairo, när sargade offerlik och folk som mördats hittas i våra gamla mossar, eller när gestalter som Ötzi – ”ismannen” från Alperna – upptäcks av en slump. Vår förhistoria blir genast mer påtaglig; den får, bokstavligt talat, ansikten och kryddas med människoöden som pockar på att bli studerade och beskrivna. Under det senaste seklet, från upptäckten av Tutankhamons grav 1922, har mängder av forntida män och kvinnor grävts upp, analyserats och ställts ut till allmänt beskådande. Detta gäller även Sverige, med iögonfallande fynd som Barumkvinnan, Hallonflickan och Granhammarsmannen. Med hjälp av den allra senaste tekniken försöker vi lära oss hur de levt – vilken mat de ätit, vilka platser de har besökt – och hur de mötte döden. Det är inte ovanligt att vi införlivar dem i vår krets genom att skänka dem namn, som när ett av de äldsta upphittade exemplaren av de varelser som för tre–fyra miljoner år sedan höll på att utvecklas till människor döptes till Lucy, efter en Beatleslåt som var populär i forskningsteamet.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, med Katarina Harrison Lindbergh, historiker och författare, om individerna under forntiden – om egyptiska mumier, nordiska mosslik och andra döda män och kvinnor som idag kan beskådas och analyseras.ReprisBild: Mumien av Ramses den store, G.

In 1976, the 3,000-year-old mummy of Ramesses II was found to have a fungal infection.The embalmed body of the Egyptian pharaoh was flown from Cairo to Paris for a once-in-a-deathtime makeover.It received a royal welcome at the airport, and was guarded throughout its restoration, which took place at the Musee de l'Homme. Anne-Marie Gouden worked as a receptionist at the museum. She tells Gill Kearsley the extraordinary story of the restoration. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: The mummy of Ramesses II being examined in Paris.

Episode: Matt Lynch speaks with Jerusalem University College president and Biblical World co-host Oliver Hersey. We discuss study of the world of the Bible and his thesis that the Sinai Covenant can be illuminated through knowledge of ancient marriage customs. Knowing ancient marriage customs can help us understand the plundering of the Egyptians, the birth of Moses, the genealogy in Exodus 6, and the events at Sinai! Enjoy. Guest/Co-Host: Dr. Oliver Hersey is the president of Jerusalem University College in Jerusalem, Israel, an institution committed to helping students engage the geography, history, archaeology, languages, and cultures of the biblical world. He loves providing students opportunities to see the contours of the Holy Land and teaching them about the cultural backgrounds, history, and literary traditions of the ancient Near East, particularly as they inform our understanding of the Bible. His research interests lie in comparing ancient Near Eastern texts with biblical texts. Exemplary of this is his dissertation titled “The Marriage at Mount Sinai: Reading Exodus in the Context of ancient Near Eastern Diplomatic Marriages.” Hersey completed his PhD in Old Testament from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and has taught at North Park University in Chicago.

In this episode Kara and Jordan talk with PhD candidate Kylie Thomsen about her research contextualizing statuary reuse using new technologies like photogrammetry and RTI (Reflectance Transformation Imaging).About Kylie ThomsenKylie is an Egyptology PhD candidate in the department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at the University of California, Los Angeles. She received her bachelor's degree in anthropology from the University of Arizona and holds a master's degree in Egyptology from Indiana University Bloomington. Kylie is currently a researcher and graphic designer for the UCLA Coffins Project, which investigates coffin reuse in ancient Egypt during the Third Intermediate Period. Her dissertation research focuses on the documentation and contextualization of ancient Egyptian statuary reuse, including documenting statues via high-resolution photography, photogrammetry, RTI (reflectance transformation imaging), and traditional art historical methods in order to analyze the statues for signs of recarving, reinscribing, and other indicators of object reuse.Episode Notes* This article by Daniel Soliman discusses the reuse of two 12th Dynasty colossal statues that were reworked during the reign of Ramesses II.* Soliman, Daniel. “At the Hands of Senwosret III?

Ramesses II was a genius in the art of self-promotion. Epic palaces, jaw dropping temples and sycophantic scribes all projected his brilliance. But, asks author Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson in today's long read, do the achievements of ancient Egypt's king of kings truly justify the hype?

The first known peace treaty was negotiated by Ramesses II, a pharaoh who came from a line of commoners and was the only Egyptian king known as “the Great.”

The first known peace treaty was negotiated by Ramesses II, a pharaoh who came from a line of commoners and was the only Egyptian king known as “the Great”.

Ramesses II is the only pharaoh in history to be known as ‘the great', but does he deserve that title? Was he the pharaoh in the Exodus story? And was his mummy really given a passport when he travelled to France? Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson has just written a new biography of Ramesses and he answered these questions and more in conversation with Rob Attar.

Det är inte ovanligt att vi införlivar dem i vår krets genom att skänka dem namn, som när ett av de äldsta upphittade exemplaren av de varelser som för tre–fyra miljoner år sedan höll på att utvecklas till människor döptes till Lucy, efter en Beatleslåt som var populär i forskningsteamet.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, med Katarina Harrison Lindbergh, historiker och författare, om individerna under forntiden – om egyptiska mumier, nordiska mosslik och andra döda män och kvinnor som idag kan beskådas och analyseras.Bild: Mumien av Ramses den store, G.

A discussion with Professor Peter Brand about his latest book, Ramses II, Egypt's Ultimate Pharaoh.Ramesses II was the most magnificent and iconic pharaoh in Egyptian history. His reign was the longest, the most “monumental” in buildings and artwork, the most innovative in diplomacy, and even the most procreative, with over one hundred royal offspring! Drawing on the latest research, Peter J. Brand digs deep into Egyptian culture and archeology, revealing the mindset and motivations of Ramesses II. We find what his grand monuments reveal, and equally what they conceal. On the international scene, we peruse the diplomatic letters—often surprising, sometimes amusing—between Pharaoh and the kings of Babylon, Assyria, and the Hittite Empire.About the Author:Dr. Peter J. Brand (PhD University of Toronto, 1998) is an ancient historian and Egyptologist specializing in history and culture of ancient Egypt during its imperial age (ca. 1550–1100 BCE). He is author of The Monuments of Seti I and their Historical Significance: Epigraphic, Historical and Art-Historical Analysis (Brill, 2000), and has written numerous articles on Egyptian kingship, monumental art and construction, history, popular religion, warfare, and diplomacy during the late Eighteenth Dynasty and Ramesside period. Ramesses II, Egypt's Ultimate Pharaoh is his fourth book. Since 2001, Brand has served as director of the Karnak Hypostyle Hall Project, which is recording, conserving, and interpreting hundreds of scenes and hieroglyphic texts carved on the walls and columns of the Great Hypostyle Hall. The project uses cutting-edge technology to model and reveal the inscriptions on this forest of 134 giant columns. Brand has appeared in over twenty documentaries for the History Channel, Discovery, and National Geographic.https://www.lockwoodpress.com/product-page/ramesses-ii-egypt-s-ultimate-pharaoh-paperhttps://www.isdistribution.com/BookDetail.aspx?aId=143310Scholarly articles and bookshttps://memphis.academia.edu/PeterBrandProject recording inscriptions of Ramesses II and his time at Karnak Temple in Egypthttps://www.memphis.edu/hypostyle/ Twitterhttps://twitter.com/PeterBrandEgyptYoutube talks about Tutankhamun & Pharaoh's goldhttps://www.youtube.com/@arcetn9553This is a podcast by Dan Hörning and Bernie Maopolski.If you like what we do you can support the Fan of History project on https://www.patreon.com/fanofhistoryContact information: http://facebook.com/fanofhistoryhttps://twitter.com/danhorninghttps://www.instagram.com/dan_horning/Music: “Tudor Theme” by urmymuse.

He set out to be a living god whose name could never be forgotten. Ramesses II built monuments and a lavish new capital city. He tore down Akhenaten's metropolis, using its stones for his own tomb. He mined gold in the desert. And in his long reign, he became a legend.  Parcasters, we have exciting news! Our first book hits bookshelves July 12th.

Becoming Pharaoh at the age of 24, Ramesses ‘The Great' II had his coronation on 31st May, 1279 BC - a fact we know because he had it chiselled into stone. Repeatedly. He lived until the age of 90 and reigned for 66 years - which gave him plenty of time to commission statues of himself, name towns after himself, and generally make sure that even in 2022 we have a reasonable idea of what he actually looked like.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why he was so keen on commemorating his achievements; consider what he had in common with Donald Trump; and ask just how young is too young to inherit an Empire… But the story of Ramesses doesn't end with today's episode... ... there's also the mysterious tale of what happened when he was DUG UP over 3,000 years later - as Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal in today's bonus bit, cut-for-time from the main show and exclusively available to supporters of the show.

The legend and the love story of Ramesses II and Nefertari.

IntroductionAnubis is the god of the afterlife and is often confused with the older Wepwawet. It is believed that before the First Dynasty of Egypt, he developed a cult following in order to be invoked on the walls of royal tombs in order to protect them from wild dogs and jackals who frequently dug up freshly buried bodies. The Egyptians believed a powerful canine god was the best protection against these wild canines.Like other ancient Egyptian deities, he had various roles and was often depicted as a protector of graves during the First Dynasty. By the Middle Kingdom, he was replaced by the god of the underworld, who would be named Osiris. As a god, he was known to bring souls into the afterlife. He was also known to attend the weighing scale, which was used to determine if a soul could enter the realm of the dead.Physical TraitsAnubis was often depicted as a black canine, a jackal-dog hybrid, or a muscular man with pointed ears. The color black was chosen because it represented the decay of the body and the life-giving soil of the Nile River Valley. The powerful black canine, then, was the protector of the dead who made sure they received their due rights in burial and stood by them in the life after death to assist their resurrection.An exceedingly rare depiction of him in full human form was found in a tomb of Ramesses II. He was also known for wearing a ribbon and holding a flail in his arm. In funerary contexts, he would also be depicted sitting on a deceased person's tomb or guarding it.FamilyHe was initially considered the son of Hesat and Ra, but after he was assimilated into the myth of Osiris, he was later held to be the child of Osiris and Nephthys. A story from the First Dynasty states that Nephthys was attracted to the beauty of Osiris, and she transformed herself to look like his wife, Isis. She became pregnant and gave birth to Anubis but she abandoned him when he was only a few months old. Isis found out about the affair and went searching for the infant and, when she found him, adopted him as her own. Set also found out about the affair, and this is given as part of the reason for his murder of Osiris.Read more about Anubis at https://mythlok.com/anubis/

Cependant, s'il existe un pharaon célèbre, qui le fut autant de son vivant, qu'encore aujourd'hui, dans notre culture populaire, c'est bien Ramsès II.

World History Tournament to find the most interesting person in history… at least among those discussed by History in Film so far. The post WHT (2.5) Ashoka the Great vs Ramesses II appeared first on .

This week the Hittite empire hits its high point, as we look at Hattusili III and Ramesses II's so-called Eternal Treaty, the peace treaty which would help define the climate of the bronze age collapse. Additionally, we look at the various other peace deals that Hattusili is able to secure with his vassals, the Babylonians, and the Assyrians. Finally, the revolutionary queen Puduhepa is going to take the stage for a bit. We know less about this highly influential queen than we would like, but her role in governing the empire as her husband aged and sickened is clear, as is her role in a dramatic religious reform that will shake the very heavens above the Hittite empire.

A look at the magic-filled legends of Prince Setne, a character based on the son of Ramesses II, who goes on a tomb-raiding journey to acquire a magical book. And it's the prequel to the stories about his 12-year-old boy wizard son, Se-Osiris. Setne I, or Setne Khamwas and Naneferkaptah, is a tale that's survived on papyrus from Ptolemaic Egypt. It about a wizard who descends into a tomb to collect a book written by the god Thoth, only to find it guarded by ghosts. Indiana Jones-style hijinks ensue. Highlights include: • An eternal snake (ouroboros) • A magical glowing book hidden inside a series of boxes • The ancient city of Memphis, Egypt • The wrath of Thoth • A look at different types of Ancient Egyptian writing systems Note: This episode contains brief mentions of drowning, suicide, incest, soliciting sex for money, killing children, and disinterring corpses For all of our shownotes, including our sources, visit buriedsecretspodcast.com.

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.Pharaoh’s daughter / Pharaoh (daughter / father, and princess / king)14th BCExodus 1:15-17, 22; 2:1-10The hero is a pagan, a worshipper of the Egyptian gods—the daughter of Pharaoh!We’re not told whether she ever told her father she had adopted a Hebrew baby. Nor are we given any details about her interactions with her father, the Pharaoh. Besides, pharaohs tended to have many wives and children. (Ramesses II lived to age 90, reigning close to 70 years, and had perhaps 100 children!)Even though Pharaoh himself was considered divine, he is mocked—not by verbal scorn, but by God moving in the simple heart of a young woman—one who moved at cross-purposes to her father to safeguard the future welfare of God's people.Perhaps adopting Moses was the result more of natural affection than virtue, and it’s possible she was unaware of Pharaoh’s decree—as was Jonathan in 1 Sam14.Jonathan / Saul (son / father, and prince / king)11th BC1 Samuel 14:24-30; 18:1-4; 19:1-6; 23:16-18Jonathan is not taken in by his father’s authoritarian outburst, or by his foolish (and counterproductive) decrees.He evinces loyalty, but not stupidity.Another great quality of Jonathan—a stark contrast to his father—is his capacity for friendship, esp. with David, who Saul now regards as his mortal enemy!David and Jonathan have a deeply spiritual relationship.Jonathan is also humble, happy to serve as David’s number two guy.Jonathan was at cross-purposes with Saul. Jonathan never did become king, or even live long to enjoy his relationship with David. He, like his father and brothers, dies in battle against the Philistines. Our next character became king, but only after a period of hiding (many years)…Joash / Athaliah (son / grandmother)8th BC2 Chronicles 22:11-12; 23:1-21; 24:1-22Athaliah was the grandmother of Joash. She was a wicked woman but a strong leader, seizing control of the southern kingdom of Judah and ruled it for six years. Jehoiada the elderly guardian of Joash knew that the ungodly Athaliah was ruining the nation and he had the nerve to depose her once the time was right. There follows the account of one of the manycoups d'état of the Bible.Joash, guided by the elderly priest Jehoida, deposes his grandmother Athaliah.The boy-king begins his forty-year reign well. After some time, he restores the lapsed Temple, and even challenges his guardian Jehoiada to expect more of the priests and Levites!Yet when Jehoiada dies and his spiritual influence no longer shapes Joash, the boy-king quickly declines.In short, Joash lacks character. He even has Jehoiada's son Zechariah (not the minor prophet but a different person) executed for challenging his sin. As a result, the Lord does call him to account in accordance with the words of the dying Zechariah.Finally, Joash is defeated in battle, even though his forces far outnumbered the enemy.We see that Joash was at cross-purposes with his grandmother, and also (sadly) with God. Like many of us, his life was a blend of the wonderful and tragic, faith and lack of faith. Yet his story is finished; ours is still being written.Whereas Joash goes from good to bad, our next king goes in the opposite direction. Josiah!Josiah / Amon (son / father)7th BC2 Ki 21:19-24; 22:1-2, 11, 13; 23:1-3Josiah is one Judaean king through whom Yahweh offered his people one final chance to be right with him—to be saved—from Babylon.Yet his father (Amon) was a wicked, ungodly man. Josiah is the opposite of Amon, and certainly did not live up to his father’s expectations, just as Amon was the opposite of the later Manasseh, grandfather of Josiah.And then the long-lost book of the Law is discovered….Josiah fears the Lord and honors the word of God, sending to the prophetess Huldah to learn what the Lord would have him do.Josiah renews the covenant, and things seem to be going well for Israel, yet his reformation did not last long.Josiah was certainly rowing against the tide, for most of the leaders and people of Judah were at cross-purposes with Yahweh.Next, we will examine two monarchs who aren't in the land of Israel at all. Not in Egypt (our first pair), but in Persia. Worshipers of Ahura Mazda—over 1000 years before Islam would make the land become the Islamic Republic of Iran.Vashti / Xerxes (queen / king, wife / husband)5th BCEsther 1:1-5, 9-10, 12; 1:15-2:1; 2:4, 17486-465 bc Xerxes: his dominion is a big territory—and the banquet is a big deal.The king cares about his reputation, glory, power… but the Lord is not impressed—as with Babel in Gen 11.Inebriated, Xerxes summons his wife so that her beauty may be displayed. Yet Vashti refuses to be gawked at.The King of Persia is made to look foolish—here and throughout the book of Esther. (Connection with Pharaoh—his silly laws are flouted right under his nose.Like the other Gentile king, Pharaoh, his projection of hubris and perfection is revealed to be vain. The other 3 monarchs, Saul, Athaliah, and Amon, are also shown to be not only ungodly but sham leaders..ConclusionWe may often find ourselves at cross-purposes with those who are not following the Lord. This may esp. be the case with family members, as with Pharaoh’s daughter, Jonathan, Joash, Josiah, and Vashti.So, how should we interact with those close to us—people involved in our lives, whether family or not—when there are conflicting agendas?Respect them – always.Please them / obey them – usually.Ignore them – if they are pushing you to go against God’s will.Don’t live for the approval of the world, or of worldly people.Take our stand with the people of God, knowing that ultimately his will will be done. And may the Lord strengthen our resolve to live this way!*                      *                      *                      *                      *                      *If you have enjoyed the OT Character Podcast series, there is also a NT Character series, with about 70 talks, covering some 90 characters. But please don’t stop with the 175 persons given attention in these two series. After all, there are 100s of biblical characters!

People Time podcast dives into ancient Egypt to look over the life of Ramesses II. Known for his military expeditions, having multiple wives, building many statues and structures and oh yeah, he was considered to be a god. So come join in on this episode as we go through the entire life of Ramesses II.

How does this great 15th century BCE pharaoh of Egypt stack up to the featured pharaoh of volume two of the podcast, Ramesses II?

The second series of Podding Through Time kicks off with some great topics:-Who was Ramesses II, and why do his peace treaties last so long?-Who were the Bantu people, and what makes their languages some of the most complicated in the world?-How does a tiny Muslim fishing town built on stilts in the water get so good at soccer?-Why are people raiding area 51, and what did we predict would happen on that day?-What are our favourite alt-history scenarios, and a bonus surprise at the end!

1303 - 1213 BCE - This is first of our special profile episodes which focus on an historical individual.  This time we are looking at Ramesses II, otherwise known as Ramesses the Great, Pharaoh of the New Kingdom of Egypt.

If you can even imagine such a vast expanse of history, then you might be able to see more than ruins, stones and statues in the reign of the great Pharaoh Ramesses II of Ancient Egypt. At that time, he was more ego than Trump, stronger than Arnold, more god than man - and yet, you can visit him, the actual shrunken, wizened, leathery body of this extremely old person, at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

Ramesses II (the Builder) returns for a St. Patrick's Day celebration that quickly spirals into a sloppy ass disaster.

Dru and Joshua Berman discuss his bold claims in his book—Inconsistency in the Torah—that suggest source-criticism might erroneously ignore cognate literary forms in the ancient Near East, favoring notoriously slippery histories behind each source in the Torah instead. Working through Egyptian and Mesopotamian parallels, Berman discusses how the old paradigm of sources might be insufficient in the face of other comparable literatures. We talk through the book's core arguments, krav maga, Judaism in Israel, Fijian vacations with Seventh Day Adventists, and more! The post Joshua Berman – Inconsistency in the Torah first appeared on OnScript.

Dru and Joshua Berman discuss his bold claims in his book—Inconsistency in the Torah—that suggest source-criticism might erroneously ignore cognate literary forms in the ancient Near East, favoring notoriously slippery histories behind each source in the Torah instead. Working through Egyptian and Mesopotamian parallels, Berman discusses how the old paradigm of sources might be insufficient in the face of other comparable literatures. We talk through the book's core arguments, krav maga, Judaism in Israel, Fijian vacations with Seventh Day Adventists, and more!

In this episode, I continue working my way through the ancient Egyptian New Kingdom, covering the domestic policy and accomplishments of Ramesses the 2nd. Ramesses the Great ruled between 1279 and 1213 BC. He built many temples, palaces, and other structures, but unfortunately, few have stood the test of time. Listen to learn the surprises his mummy revealed. Next week, I'll continue the history of Ramesses, including his potential role in the Exodus. After listening, let me know what you think.

About a month ago, Hunter was on Chris Ryan's Tangentially Speaking podcast. (It's episode 234 if you're interested.) I can't speak for Chris but I had a really great time. Some people on Twitter enjoyed the convo too. Someone even said they were happy that I'd finally found my soulmate. I was disappointed that my soulmate would be a married DUDE...but Twitter don't lie! And so, Chris and I scheduled a second conversation. Two plus hours later my faith in the wisdom of crowds is greater than it has ever been. Chris not only is my soulmate but he succeeded in bringing me to the point of tears. Legitimately, my eyes made water. Chris Ryan extracted my cultural confession from me. One of the patterns that Chris drew out in this conversation is that so much of humanity's cutting edge thinking rests on looking back to how Hunter-Gatherers lived to see what lessons we can learn from them. In short, humanity is trying to return to what it knew before. This is the nature of the Hero's Journey. A hero leaves the tribe and sets out on a quest to find something or solve some problem for the tribe. In the oldest sense, they leave the security of the village to hunt and gather to bring food back for the tribe. In so doing, they risk their lives and face trials from nature, plants and animals. Eventually, the face the ordeal that requires them to draw on all they've learned. If they succeed, they return to the village with their prize. A long time ago, humanity set out on an epic hero's journey. Something was missing from village life. What was it? That's actually a quite tough question. Life for hunter-gatherers is remarkably good. And yet, set out we did. We engaged in agriculture. We enslaved each other. We built great Empires and those Empires fought great wars. Religious and cultural movements swept across the globe. And now, with all we've achieved in our mastery over the natural world, many of us find ourselves looking back with longing to a time of strong communities and social belonging. We want to go back home. However, as Chris and I discuss in this podcast, we cannot turn back yet. For first, we must face the ordeal. What is that ordeal? The fear of our own mortality. And that, ladies and gentlemen, has been the ordeal all along. We have built great pyramids and statues. We have conquered vast Empires. We have created great works of art. And all of it has crumbled away. Shortly after the British Museum acquired a piece of a great broken statue of Ramesses II, the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote Ozymandias about the vanity of thinking that any monument to your own greatness would last. Since time immemorial, mankind has sought the elixir of life and the fountain of youth in the hopes that we would cheat death. And now, there are those among us who believe they will cheat death forever. Men like Ray Kurzweil believe that through the magic of technology we will achieve immortality. And perhaps, we will. But what is it that we want. What do we hunger for? Why as our technology rushes forward do we find ourselves looking back? Chris is fond of a quote from T.S. Eliot "We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." That is the hero's journey. And perhaps man's hero's journey is not a straight line up and up forever. Perhaps in some sense it is one great circle. Whatever great technologies and elixirs we find, perhaps it will not be enough for us to have it. The great joy of the reward that we have hunted and gathered is in returning to share it with the tribe. And that is what we have lost. We have lost community. The challenge of Mixed Mental Arts is to evolve a culture that draws on the best of all times and places. Some of those places we left a long time ago. Chris' favorite quote has a special resonance for me. Robert McNamara quotes it in the Fog of War. For all his explorations and great statistical knowledge, McNamara in the end found solace in the words of a poet who talked about returning home. And that is very much my own experience. I have now wandered widely through the science. But all of those explorations have brought me to where I started. I have had to rediscover a sense of childlike wonder, of curiosity and of a desire for the sort of community that existed 10,000 years ago before the rise of agriculture. Can we have it all? I think we can. And I'm sure as heck willing to devote my life to trying. Chris reminds me in this podcast that Robert McNamara's middle name was "Strange." Robert "Strange" McNamara. And that's fitting. Life is strange. It just gets curiouser and curiouser once you leave your culture behind. And I'm excited to see how deep the rabbit hole goes...even if when I reach the bottom I find I come back out on top. "We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." - T.S. Eliot

Ramesses II is thought of as ancient Egypt's greatest pharaoh. His importance is reflected in the size and scale of his magnificent funerary temple, in Luxor. The latest in science, culture, and history from Smithsonian Channel.

During the timeline of Judge Ehud, Ramesses II led Egypt to its territorial high water mark in history. In the thirteenth year of his reign, Ramesses II was declared a god on earth and within a year of this declaration he was engaged in a battle for his life with the Hittite empire, in the battle of Kadesh. After the battle, Judge Ehud watching from afar could have easily seen the results of what happens when rulers of the earth declare themselves a god.

Ramesses II, the longest reigning king of ancient Egypt. Learn of his life as king, his dealings with the Hittities, the Battle of Qadesh, his great monuments, his family, and his tomb in the Valley of the Kings

A trip to the Cairo Museum feels like a visit to a movie set. You are transported immediately into an ancient world, where monuments, statues, and paintings stir up clear images of history from thousands and thousands of years ago. The most stunning and moving exhibit is the room of mummies. There is one mummy worth seeing more than all the others: Ramesses II. Many scholars believe this was the man before whom Moses stood and demanded the release of God’s people from the bonds of slavery. Was Ramesses II the Pharaoh of the exodus? We cannot say with certainty. Join Mark Lanier as we continue to look at the archaeology and the Biblical passages consistent wtih the Ramesses II view.

Director of the British Museum Neil MacGregor retells the history of human development from the first stone axe to the credit card, using 100 selected objects from the Museum. The story arrives in Egypt around 1250 BC. At the heart of this programme is the British Museum's giant statue of the king Ramesses II, an inspiration to Shelley and a remarkable ruler who built monuments all over Egypt. He inspired a line of future pharaohs and was worshipped as a god a thousand years later. He lived to be over 90 and fathered some 100 children. Neil considers the achievements of Ramesses II in fixing the image of imperial Egypt for the rest of the world, and sculptor Antony Gormley, the man responsible for a contemporary giant statue, The Angel of the North, considers the towering figure of Ramesses as an enduring work of art.
