Ramesses, ruler of rulers.
Heka in Hekaou.
So there's this reverberation of this character for he must have been an impressive character.
Yes, he had the opportunity to build, to battle, to marry, to procreate over 66 years.
But there's something about the
the brokenness of the monuments of him and other kings that does appeal as quite romantic.
It's almost like proof, especially for Christian people, that these pagan kings were cut down to size by the true God.
I think in some ways he gets a bad press because it's all wham, bam, thank you, Ram.
But I think Ramesses, I mean, he does have a legacy in that he gives his name to... So many others.
So many others.
Yes, and I think if you asked a king 500 years later who was the greatest pharaoh of ancient Egypt, it would be difficult for them to choose between Thutmose III and Ramesses II.
So that's a crazy... How many Ramesses are there in total?
So there were 11 kings called Ramses, but later kings, even than Ramses XI, take the throne name Usermatra.
So there is clearly an homage going on there.
Campbell, always a pleasure.
Thank you for having me.
Yes, I mean, Ramesses II is a well-known household name, but it's interesting to consider how he became the great and why people later thought he was so great.
Yeah.
Some would tell you, some rather uncharitable people might say it well past the zenith of ancient Egypt in terms of artistic production.
And there is a sense, I'm sure it'll come up as we're talking, that Ramesses II is trying to recapture a few centuries before when Egypt was really expanding, not so much an empire, I hesitate to use the word empire, but it's kind of field of influence.
