The Temples That Made Ancient Egypt Immortal

📍 The West Bank of Luxor — a sacred landscape where pharaohs sought eternity, power, and divine remembrance. The NEW ME team continues its journey along the Nile, exploring the great mortuary temples of Ancient Egypt — monumental complexes built not for the living, but for gods in human form. In this episode, we travel through three key sites of royal afterlife cults: the lost Amenophium of Amenhotep III, the Ramesseum of Ramesses II, and the fortress-temple of Medinet Habu, built by Ramesses III. 🔎 IN THIS EPISODE: ✅ Discover who Amenhotep III was and why his mortuary temple once rivalled Karnak ✅ Learn why only two colossal statues survived the destruction of the Amenophium ✅ Explore the Ramesseum — the cult temple of Ramesses II, a pharaoh worshipped as a living god ✅ Understand how mortuary temples functioned during a pharaoh’s life — and long after his death ✅ Visit Medinet Habu, the last great fortress-temple of Ancient Egypt ✅ Uncover scenes of real battles carved in stone ✅ Learn how political fear, ritual power and paranoia shaped royal architecture ✅ Follow the events that led to the infamous Harem Conspiracy and the brutal murder of a pharaoh 🛕 These temples were not tombs. They were instruments of power — designed to preserve a king’s name, soul, and authority for eternity. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Introduction: The Sacred West Bank of Luxor 01:23 – The Colossi of Memnon and the Lost Temple of Amenhotep III 03:39 – Amenhotep III, Queen Tiye and the Rise of a New Dynasty 04:10 – Mortuary Temples and the Cult of the Pharaoh 05:46 – The Ramesseum: Ramesses II, the Living God 07:00 – War, Peace and the Long Reign of Ramesses the Great 08:12 – Medinet Habu and the Fortress of Ramesses III 09:58 – Battles, Enemies and the Collapse of an Era 13:14 – The Harem Conspiracy and the Murder of a Pharaoh 15:16 – Final Reflections: The Price of Eternity 📌 Subscribe and continue the journey along the Nile with us. ➡️ Next episode: The Valley of the Kings
