Pharaoh Ramesses II presided over a golden age of Egyptian prosperity- but was he a model leader or a master of propaganda?
--
Pharaoh Ramesses II reigned for almost 70 years in the 13th century BCE. He presided over a golden age of Egyptian prosperity, power, and wealth. But was he a model leader or a shameless egomaniac and master of propaganda? Jessica Tomkins puts this controversial figure on trial in History vs. Ramesses the Great.

I would argue that Qin Shi Huang wasn’t actually controversial. He was outright despised by all the succeeding Confucian scholars in all of Chinese history. The only person of historical note who even said one thing positive about him besides uniting China, was Mao Zedong(that I know of). And that was that QSH literally buried scholars alive and bragged about it.

While Qin Shi Huang obviously left a giant legacy in many ways, he never was really liked by posterity because of the stranglehold the Confucian scholars had over education in almost all of subsequent Chinese history.

As a constitutional monarch, it is nigh on impossible to place actual responsibility for any act of the government on the queen’s part. Besides, nations need not have monarchies to have empires, and both France and Portugal made sure to prove that. All of that aside, even if she was alive today, the doctrine of sovereign immunity would still apply. The British sovereign cannot be lawfully prosecuted for any reason or before any court in any of the realms in which they reign. And diplomatic immunity covers foreign states.

There is also an argument that he was a leader who welcomed foreign Western powers, traders, and religious leaders into Japan which was something unheard of at the time where the leaders would just execute them. After the Sengoku period, Japan pretty much became an isolated country for around until Matthew C. Perry had to pretty much force Japan to trade with the rest of the world and even then you could argue that Japan had a rocky relationship with the Western world until years after World War II. However you could also make the argument that he wanted guns, westerns had them, and building churches and appealing to them was just the easiest way to get to them (also since Nobunaga was anti-Buddhist that can tell you where his options on religion may lie). Plus Europe was still at that stage where it was every man for themselves when it came to land at the time, so you can understand why leaders was so cautious when it came to foreign powers, no matter how good a person's intentions were.

I know a little curiosity about Moses. according to one theory the name of moses in Hebrew is Mōsheh, (it would be attributed the meaning of "extracted from the water") but it derives from the Egyptian, although today the majority of scholars prefer to believe that the name derives from the Egyptian root Moses , which means son of or generated as we can for example see in the Egyptians Thutmosis (son of Thoth) or Ramses (son of Ra), personally perhaps he had a name like "son of the nile" or of a god/goddess of the river, or In line with this thesis and lacking the name of the father, Moses simply means child as a term of endearment for son. after "cutting the past" he called himself only "son" because he wanted to say: "I am not the son of the false gods of the pharaoh, but of the true god"

No one knows exactly where the name "Moses" comes from. The Jewish traditions themselves do not agree on this. Josephus tries to derive Moses from the Egyptian word for water, while the biblical Exodus story derives Moses from the Hebrew "to draw out". The theory that Moses comes from the Egyptian msj "born/created" is especially interesting when you consider that the word "msj" was pronounced differently at the time in which the bibical Exodus is said to have taken place. Which makes sense when you consider that historians today do not believe that the Exodus was a real historical event, but a later story to explain the origins of Israel, which is why they accidentally used the wrong newer pronunciation of "msj" and not the one which would have been used in the late bronze age. The same can be said about the biblical story of Joseph, which takes place before the story of Moses and is supposed to explain how the Israelites came to Egypt. However, the Egyptians in the Joseph story have names that are only documented in the late New Kingdom period. In other words, names that had not yet been invented at the time in which the Joseph story is set. This means that the Moses and Joseph stories cannot have originated in the Bronze Age, but must have been written much later.

I would also like to know where this other reply is getting the claim that exodus was written during the Babylonian exile, I have not heard that before. I guess also to "go on the offensive", there is substantial evidence that exodus did happen, among other things, this can be seen in the cultural aspects of the design of the Arc of the Covenant and the Tabernacle, which bears strong similarities to Egyptian construction around the time of Ramses.

We have records from both the Hittites and the Egyptians in which they both proclaimed victory when in reality, it was a tactical stalemate for both sides and a strategic defeat for Ramesses. Indeed, the final blow of the battle was struck by the Egyptians, causing the Hittites to retreat from the field, but not only had both sides suffered tremendous losses, Ramesses was UNABLE to achieve the main objective of taking Kadesh which remained in Hittite hands. Furthermore, he returned to his capital shadowed by the Hittite forces all the while and the Hittites continued to expand their influence further along the coast for the next 2 years. It’s interesting to note that, at the Battle of Kadesh, though Great King Muwatalli II may have been the overall Commander of the Hittite Forces, his “Marshal”, for lack of a better term, was his younger brother Prince Hattusili who would distinguish himself that day as one of the Hittite Empires most brilliant generals and would even make a name for himself among the Egyptians, particularly Ramesses, leading his own chariot into the thick and reportedly slaughtering the chief of the Sherden that were part of Ramesses’ own guard. Both gained respect for each other after the battle and, with the treaty of eternal peace signed between them, the two would maintain a friendly correspondence for the rest of their lives, with Hattu even sending one of his daughters to marry Ramesses and Ramesses sending continuous shipments of grain to feed the Hittite Empire during the famines of the late 13th century BCE. After Muwa’s death, Hattu would succeed his brother as King Hattusili III after a brief civil war with Muwatalli’s son Urhi-Teshub and would create the mutual defense pact with Ramesses.

@@iulaihe51299 Founder of the Modern Turkish State. Turks laud him as a hero for fighting against foreign powers, taking steps to modernize the country, and moving it away from a highly conservative Islamic society. Others however will point to his seemingly complicity with the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide and the creation of discriminatory policies against non-Turks. I think he would be perfect for this channel.

Ancient history is fascinating since the further back in time we go, the fewer sources we have, and the more likely those sources had some interest in the events they were recording and a possible motive to exaggerate if not outright lie. In the case of Ramses II, was he one of the greatest rulers in human history? Was he one of history's greatest liars? Or was he both? All of these things are very possible.

Ramses II would have built the temple to show the world that was Egypt and since he built it, he was Egypt. The majority of his army was from either Lower Nubia or Upper Egypt, so the building of the temple in those lands was almost as important to the believers as it was for him. He was greatness and they were associated with that greatness.
