Summary

The Mother is Sweet, Born of the Sun. In the second half of Horemheb’s reign, Egypt’s Queen died in childbirth. Subsequently, pharaoh chose one of his servants, Paramessu (Ramesses) as a successor. This choice arguably established the 19th royal Dynasty. Why did Horemheb do this? Episode details: Intro music: Keith Zizza. Interlude sounds and Outro music: Luke Chaos. Additional research by Elissa Day. See Geoffrey Martin discussing the discovery of Horemheb's Saqqara tomb at the Associated Press (1975). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
