Egypt's golden empire : The Last Great Pharaoh 8/9

For over 3,000 years Egypt was ruled by Pharaohs. But in that last sweep of time, one pharaoh stands out. He would reign for 67 years, command the largest empire on earth and capture the imagination of the world. His name was Ramesses. Ramesses built a reputation that has resounded through history. It was a reputation deliberately crafted by the pharaoh himself. Ramesses was in fact a master of propaganda, projecting his power beyond the battlefield across the ancient world

Read the History :« Again the representations of the early Puntites, or Somali people, on the Egyptian monuments, show striking resemblances to the Egyptians themselves. » By Brian Brown New York:[1923]

According to the historian Richard Pankhurst :"The Egyptians sometimes called Punt land Ta-Netjeru, meaning "Land of the Gods," and considered it their place of origin ." (Richard Pankhurst, The Ethiopian Borderlands:)

It's kinda sad how Egypt's empire declined and fell.

@elioconroy They were pirates from nations of Turkey, Syria and Cannan on the move, armed and aggressive. They also included women and kids looking for lands to settle. They even took out the Hittite Empire!

@NECHOII I agree, those two should've been mentioned in this documentary, especially Ramses III! He's one of my heroes.

Well egypt had many invasions but jus a few of devastating proportions that being the assyrians,the persians, the the greeks, then the romans, then the turks. The sea people would have had to been the greeks. Take note as to how none of these could expand in to the upper nile kus the kushites smashed they bitch aSses that and the scolding sun helped. The kushites historically had the fiercest armies egyptiaNs loved their cousins!

The sea peoples were the Phoenicians or Canaanites, from modern day Syria and Lebanon.
