Ramses III

King Ramses III

One of the greatest warrior

King Ramses III is one of the greatest warriors in Egypt's ancient history. In the fifth and eighth years of his rule, he fought the peoples of the sea and the shift from the south, Ramses III also responded to two attacks by Libyans on Egypt's western border and the security of the country, the construction of many constructions, including the city of Habu, the addition of the Temple of Amon in Karnak and the establishment of its tomb famous for the Valley of Kings and Queens in the West.

Ramses III, commonly referred to as the last of Egypt's great branches, was ruled from 1186 to 1155 BC. The exact cause of his death sparked a heated debate among historians.

It was also known as the Land of Gold because it served as a great treasure or tomb for the kings of Nubia who lived there for thousands of years. Before the migration, Aswan's borders extended from Asna in the east to the border of Sudan in the south, and its inhabitants were Nubians, but after the Islamic conquest of Nubia, some Arab tribes settled there.

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.
