[@gerardrbain1972]

Ancient Egypt/Khemet (it was only started to be called Egypt after Alexander of Macedonia took the kingdom) was conquered by many of the surrounding kingdoms over it's 3 000 years existence. So it would stand to reason that the kingdom would be made up of people who could trace their ancestry to multiple ethnic groups from Africa, the Mediterranean area and the Middle East. Placing modern concepts of race on an ancient kingdom like Egypt/Khemet isn't reasonable.

He knew that once he ascended to the afterlife, Egypt would be in trouble without his leadership so he made it his sworn duty to crush as many of his enemies as possible so that his people could live peacefully and prosper after his death. Unfortunately this faltered when later pharaohs proved to be weak and ineffective eventually leading to the collapse of the Egyptian kingdom thus paving the way for the Greek Ptolemaic Dynasty.

[@HistoryExplained]

Great point Seth!

Although Cleopatra did put up one hell of a fight against Rome.

[@sethguest781]

@@thepanda1044 True, but it was sadly in vain. Caesar's armies crushed the Ptolemaic Egyptian forces and her library in Alexandria was burned to the ground. Also, many think that Marcus and Cleopatra were lovers but this has since been disproven, Marcus Antonius was a spy for Caesar and only wanted to seduce The Queen Of The Nile for military secrets, he was partly responsible for her demise in truth.

The Sherden are an interesting group, just one part of the multitude that was the Sea Peoples. I wonder if they really did originate as pirates from Sardinia, a sort of Bronze Age Vikings, or whether they originally came from another land and finally settled on Sardinia as a home after their wanderings as part of the Sea Peoples. Then again it could be a simple coincidence as far as the etymology goes - land of the Sherden - Sherdinia = Sardinia.

The true biblical Egyptians and the 12 tribes of Israel were black people. the black people in western, central, south, and east Africa. The west and the world need to stop spreading their propaganda lies. When Yahshua comes back. everyone will see and accept the truth. YOU PEOPLE IN THE WEST, EAST, HAVE TRIED TO COVER UP BLACK HISTORY BUT YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED IN DOING IT. You people have lied to the whole world. You take the Torah(holy bible) and whitewash it. you take black history and whitewash it. if you guys could take Egypt out of the continent of Africa, you would. just to cover up your generational lies and deceit. the ancient city of Atlantis is in the continent of africa.b

Nefertari was allegedly very active in the political sphere as well. She corresponded directly with Pudahepa, queen of the Hittites, and following the Kadesh peace treaty helped to arrange Ramses’ marriage to one of Pudahepa’s daughters.

Old Ramesses should look older. The nose and ears get longer, and he'd look much like he does in mummy form when near death, I would say. Especially considering he lived into his 80s, didn't he?

And the only True Book Quran said , فَالۡيَوۡمَ نُـنَجِّيۡكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُوۡنَ لِمَنۡ خَلۡفَكَ اٰيَةً  ؕ وَاِنَّ كَثِيۡرًا مِّنَ النَّاسِ عَنۡ اٰيٰتِنَا لَغٰفِلُوۡنَ (10:92) We shall now save your corpse that you may serve as a sign of warning for all posterity,although many men are heedless of Our signs"

[@LifeontheMove474]

Even today the place, where the dead body of Pharaoh was found floating, is pointed out by the inhabitants of that region. It lies on the western coast of the Sinai Peninsula and is now known by the name of Jabl-i-Firaun (Pharaoh’s Mount). There is also near to it a hot spring called Hammam-i-Firaun (Pharaoh’s Bath), which is situated at a distance of a few miles from Abu Zenimah, where, they say, Pharaoh’s dead body was found lying. If the Pharaoh who was drowned was Mineptah, who ruled over Egypt when Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) was sent to him, his embalmed dead body is still lying in the Cairo Museum. When Sir Grafton E. Smith removed the bandages from his mummy, a layer of salt was found on the body, which was a clear proof that he was drowned in the sea. 93. That is, We show signs to the people over and over again so that these should serve as warnings and be the means of teaching them lessons, but it is a pity that they do not learn lessons even from such signs as the dead body of Pharaoh.

And for another view: I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said-"Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away." Ozymandias was the Greek name for Ramses 11.

In the movie the ten commandments Ramesses II is shown as an arrogant, pompous ass who is undone by his own hubris. His flaws notwithstanding he is the pharaoh of all pharaohs, the one who shaped his time like no other and the one we remember. Almost as famous as his contemporary Moses in his own right.

Another fantastic video. The story of the Egyptian-Hittite Treaty is so sad to me. They promised each other the world, but in the end when the wolves were at the Hittites' door, Egypt wasn't in a position to help. I'll always wonder whether Ramesses III would have sent help if he could.
