Sky History continues its exploration of one of ancient Egypt’s most iconic pharaohs in “Ramses the Great: King Of Ancient Egypt.” This Monday’s episode, “Warrior King,” examines how Ramses II, just five years into his reign, earned his fearsome reputation as a military leader, the most feared of all the martial pharaohs.
The episode charts Ramses II’s ambitious campaign to reclaim the kingdoms of the Levant, a region that held strategic and symbolic significance for the Egyptian empire. We see how Ramses II, not content to simply oversee operations, placed himself at the forefront of battle, personally commanding his troops.
With exclusive access to recent archaeological discoveries, “Warrior King” goes beyond the myths and legends, providing fresh insights into Ramses II’s military strategies, the scale of his campaigns, and the impact of his conquests. Sky History aims to uncover the man behind the myth, and this episode offers a compelling look at the warrior king who shaped the destiny of ancient Egypt.
