In this program we'll take a close look at the 19th Dynasty of ancient Egypt. It's a dynasty filled with greatness but also a lot of controversy. We'll meet several important pharaoh's including the dynasty's founder, Ramesses I, his highly capable son, Seti I, the famous Ramesses II (Ramesses the Great), Merenptah, Seti II, the controversial Amenmesse, Siptah and the female ruler Tausret, as well as important events such as the Battle of Kadesh. We'll also examine noteworthy temples and objects including the sanctuary of Abu Simbel and the Israel stela. Dynasty 19 is one of the most famous in Egyptian history so you won't want to miss this!
