This is a lecture I gave at The University of Auckland, as an "Introduction to Egyptian Warfare in the New Kingdom." It covers basic points: weapons, organization, vehicles, battles and strategies, and larger concepts like state violence and imperialism - how the Pharaohs approached warfare itself.

Dominic! Great lecture, and please know that there are those of us who LOVE "Stupidly detailed". You are building a proverbial pyramid legacy of education that will serve others in the future and beyond. Thank you for all that you do!

Yes please. Never apologize for being "supidly" detailed. The boring short on details ones never apologize for being so. As a geek of many pop culture things I enjoy drinking from the fire hose!

Dominic, I know this was a while ago, but I found it fascinating, nonetheless. I was intrigued by what you chose to emphasize when telling the military story. It's just one more reason that so many of us are completely addicted to your podcast! (Has it really been almost 10 years?!) Thanks for this lecture & I'll be listening for your next session!

This was great! And your persona is so much different from the nonjudgmental and academic one on your podcast. Very interesting and fun to see that side of you!

Superb lecture! You beautifully synthesise New Kingdom military activity, which has a very rich and detailed history, while throwing in fascinating observations, such as the way leaders such as Horemheb portrayed themselves.

Thank you! If you are interested in the self-representation, my talk here follows the wonderful work of Niv Allon from the Met Museum of Art. You can read some of it on his Academia page metmuseum.academia.edu/NivAllon

Hullo there! Just when I was in need for my mind to be stimulated* Second language English speaker who doesn't know what he talks about half of the time. 16.6% of the time?

Really strong OPINIONS on the pharaohs supposed personalities but only cited one or 2 examples. Try being less bias next time. Why do so many people who study Egypt hate Egypt. its so weird.

No Egyptologist hates Egypt. But fundamentally, history is about people. And peoples' deeds / stories inspire different reactions in different contexts. I provided examples of their deeds in the talk. If you want greater detail and references, The History of Egypt Podcast goes much deeper than I was able to in this lecture 🙂
