Peter Brand (Parts 1 & 2)
When Paramessu became Ramesses I, his ascent marked a “break” in many ways. Then, his son Sety I confirmed that legacy and expanded it magnificently. In these interviews, Prof. Peter Brand explores the rise and early rule of the Ramessid family. How did they establish power and legitimize their rule; and how did they differ from their predecessors of the late 18th Dynasty?
Dr. Peter Brand is Associate Professor at The University of Memphis (Tennessee, USA). He completed his PhD. in 1998 studying The Monuments of Sety I. In 2023, he has published an enormous study of the Ramesside era: Ramesses II: Egypt’s Ultimate Pharaoh. A long-overdue, and beautifully written study of this reign in the big picture, Prof. Brand’s new book is a lively and beautifully presented work that will become a “standard reference” for Ramessid enthusiasts.
