Ramses the Great's Nubian Gold Mines
Episode 50 of Ramses the Great dives into the economic engine behind his monuments: the gold mines of Nubia. Lucas and Luna explore the Wadi Hammamat and the Eastern Desert mines, the forced labor of the Madjai and Medjay, the role of gold in temple construction and foreign diplomacy, and the administrative machinery that turned Nubian ore into Egypt's wealth. They discuss the logistics of extraction, the cult of the god Amun as a financial beneficiary, and how the gold trade shaped Ramses's relations with Kush and beyond.
