Ramses the Great's Son Khaemwaset: High Priest and Egypt's First Egyptologist
Prince Khaemwaset, the fourth son of Ramses II, was not a general or a king but a high priest of Ptah in Memphis. He oversaw the burial of sacred Apis bulls, restored crumbling monuments of Old Kingdom pharaohs, and is sometimes called the world's first Egyptologist. Lucas and Luna explore his life, his restoration of the Step Pyramid complex, the Serapeum at Saqqara, his role as a scribe, and his rivalry with his brother Merenptah for succession. They also discuss the 'Setna Khaemwaset' stories from Ptolemaic times that turned him into a legendary magician.
