And I think Ramesses III did okay.

And interestingly, thinking architecturally, so Ramesses II built this magnificent temple, his mansion of millions of years.

So this is sometimes referred to in the literature as a mortuary temple, a funerary temple.

It's nothing to do with mortuary rituals or death, really, or funerals.

It is to do with the king existing as a god.

so this is the key thing the king is a god after death he will be fully uh socialized amongst the gods and so you need a building in which to to celebrate this so rameses ii makes this massive mansion of millions of years rameses iii comes along and thinks right we're gonna have a carbon copy of this pretty much and

And so Ramesses III's temple is one of the best preserved temples in all of Egypt because of chance there was a massive Coptic Christian community lived there and they plonked their houses around the ancient walls.

So...

inadvertently, although they hated the pagans, they saved Ramses' temple.

So Ramses III's temple.

So when you want to get a sense of what might a temple have been like in really ancient Egypt, Ramses III's one on the west bank of Luxor is your best bet.

It's more the money than actually probably realistically of all the traveling I want to do.

One of the things of Ramesses III, which we might come on to...

You know, he's got a fair bit of statuary.

You can now see that shown to great advantage in the Grand Egyptian Museum.

So this only opened fully last November.

So in terms of, you know, if you're a fan of museums, I know a lot of people who have been saying, I'm going to go to Egypt, I'm going to go to Egypt, I'm going to go to Egypt.

And they've been waiting till the Grand Museum is open.

So it's open now, so there's no excuse.

Well, with the current political situation, I'm not sure.
