There are a series of not very good kings, to put it simply, after Ramses II.
He is dynasty 19 and there's a change of dynasty.
So there's a new family comes in, new bloodline, this kind of Arabist dynasty.
a guy called Seth Nacht, who says, I'm the king now.
And it's his son who is Ramesses III.
So we've got to understand Ramesses III as a bit of a new kid on the block, thinking, right, I need to prove myself.
His dad doesn't live very long.
Seth Nacht isn't around for very long.
So he goes to the blueprint rule book of kingship, which is, in recent memory, Ramesses II.
And that's something to bear in mind because,
people will remember Ramesses II.
He's in living memory.
So I don't know, I don't want to force the analogy, but Ramesses II is kind of an Elizabeth II character who rules so long, people associate the whole idea of monarchy with that person.
It's difficult, no matter how good you are, to come on maybe later in life after that.
So basically that sets the tone for the next few decades in Ramesses III.
opens his show, starts his reign in this milieu.
Not always.
So that was something I was thinking would be a good illustration, so I'm glad you've reminded me.
So Ramesses III is dynasty 20, and we have 30 dynasties plus the Ptolemies, right?
Right.
