Ramses II was the most famous pharaoh of all. A warrior, builder, and self-proclaimed living god. But behind the myth was an extraordinary family life that rivals any modern dynasty. Discover the untold story of Ramses II's harem, his twelve wives (including five of his own daughters), and his massive family of over 100 children. Unearth the political ambition behind his legendary monuments, like the twin temples of Abu Simbel and the stunning tomb of his favorite queen, Nefertari, and the tragic personal cost of his 66-year reign. For a pharaoh who sought immortality, his greatest struggle was outliving his own heirs. Journey with us into the intimate, powerful, and often controversial life of Ancient Egypt's ultimate patriarch. You can now become a History Hit member right here on YouTube!
