And most ancient Egyptian scenes do not reflect history as it happened and don't reflect the world as it actually is.
But yeah, there are details that bring about this world in which foreigners, anyone who's unfortunate enough to be non-Egyptian is in disarray and the Egyptians are successful on campaign.
So the local detail, the scenes of a siege, fortifications, canals, rivers,
siege warfare, that does seem to ring true.
I think it maybe was conceptualized
all the way back under Amenhotep III, and Seti I does the bulk of the work.
So I think it's really realised by Seti I, and he begins to decorate it, and by the time he dies, it's half finished.
And so Ramesses II completes it.
But it is an absolutely astounding piece of architecture, you know.
World architecture, absolutely breathtaking.
And his tomb as well in the Valley of the Kings, it's one of the most pristine, remarkable tombs.
Jewel-like.
And it's funny because Ramesses II is in real terms bigger, but is much, much less well-preserved.
Interesting.
Oh, I think he's pretty successful.
I think he, as you said, sets the train in motion for what he hopes is going to be a long-lived dynasty, as we'll discuss maybe in the next episode.
The fact that his son is so long-lived may actually compromise Seti's plans.
But as a military man...
clearly you know i guess seti the first would have remembered a time when he was not meant to be the king you know he was a military general he was the son of a military general he was someone important but he had to prove himself amongst his colleagues yeah his peers exactly
So he has the kind of kingship thrust upon him, you could say.
