but it must have gone on throughout pharaonic history.
But this is a very rare insight into a very, what must have been not uncommon, but it's unusual it's recorded.
And then she is succeeded by this man, this new guy, Setnacht, and he has a successor who's Ramses III.
So all of this happens from the death of Miriam Ptah to the succession of Ramses III in a few decades.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He might have planned, and indeed his father and grandfather planned and initiated this great sweep of history and thought their successors would keep going into the future.
But in real terms, in terms of blood relations, pure blood relations, the dynasty fizzles out and dies.
When Seth Naughton eventually, Ramses III come along, they offer the appearance of stability, which is fine, but the economic and social changes within Egypt are real, as are the foreign threats, the non-Egyptian, the outsider threats.
As we were discussing before, the geopolitics, even between Seth I and Ramses II, which isn't a long time,
there's lots of shifts there fast forward to the reign of rameses the third and i mean he claims various victories in his well-recorded accounts in his mansion of millions of years but this really heralds the end of the new kingdom and the rise of yeah other powers in the ancient world

I mean, his own reign is a lot about spin.
And he focuses a lot on his own personality and divine personality when he's alive.
This is something, again, to emphasize.
The cult of the king through these statues, these cult colossi, as I term them,
only are really supercharged with the divine power during his lifetime.
They kind of fade into the background after his death.
So to be fair to the successors of Ramses II, they have to deal with other challenges, which Ramses II didn't have to deal with.
There's another practical thing, though.
The great city that he embellished, Paramses, suffers because the branch of the Nile it's on silts up.
