Ramses III

King Ramses III

King Ramses III

Known for his valiant military prowess, Ramses III rescued his kingdom from the assailed peoples of the sea. He carried out his father's work, which had been started during the thirty years of his reign, to put an end to the chaos following the death of Siptah, the seventh pharaoh of the XIX Dynasty.

During Ramses III's reign, the first strike in history occurred, during the construction of his mortuary temple on the west bank of Luxor near Hatshepsut temple, Valley of the Kings, and Vally of the Queens.

During the construction of the temple of Madinat Hapu, the workers committed the first strike in ancient Egyptian History when they didn't receive their wages for a few months. Hence, they all stood up for their rights as one man sticking against Ramses III and stopped all kinds of work until they were particularly compensated.

Stars are increased as services and the general state of the accommodation improve, so it is easier to imagine 5-star deluxe (or whatever suffix is added to 5 stars) being 6 stars.

The relationship between the Pharaohs and the Egyptian gods was a fundamental aspect of ancient Egyptian religion and society. It was based on the belief that Pharaohs were divine rulers and earthly representatives of the gods. Here are key aspects of this relationship:

Divine Kingship: Pharaohs were considered to be gods themselves, or at least, semi-divine beings. They were believed to be the living Horus, the god of kingship and the sky, and the earthly manifestation of Ra, the sun god. This divine status granted them unparalleled authority.

Ma'at and Balance: Pharaohs were responsible for maintaining Ma'at, the ancient Egyptian concept of cosmic balance, truth, and order. Their rule was seen as vital to preventing chaos and ensuring harmony in the world. Pharaohs were considered guardians of Ma'at.

Intermediaries: Pharaohs acted as intermediaries between the gods and the people. They were responsible for conducting religious rituals, offering sacrifices, and ensuring the well-being of the gods. This was seen as crucial to maintaining the favor of the gods.

Temples and Monuments: The Pharaohs built grand temples and monuments to honor the gods and demonstrate their piety. These structures served as places of worship and were filled with inscriptions and reliefs praising the Pharaoh's divine role.

Religious Rituals: Pharaohs played a central role in religious rituals, especially during festivals and major ceremonies. They often wore elaborate ceremonial clothing and crowns during these events to symbolize their connection to the gods.

Funeral and Afterlife: Pharaohs' burials were elaborate affairs with the belief that they would join the gods in the afterlife. The construction of pyramids, elaborate tombs, and funerary texts demonstrated their preparations for the divine journey.

Godly Attributes: Pharaohs were often depicted with godly attributes in art and inscriptions. They might be shown wearing the crowns associated with specific gods, carrying symbols of divine power, or participating in rituals alongside the gods.

Cult of Personality: The Pharaoh's image and name were carefully cultivated to emphasize their divine status. Propaganda and monumental inscriptions were used to reinforce their godly role.

Dynastic Lineage: The concept of divine kingship extended to the Pharaoh's royal lineage. Succession was often depicted as the divine transfer of power from one pharaoh to another, reinforcing the idea of an unbroken chain of divine rulers.
