Greg Jenner and his guests lift the lid on one of Ancient Egypt's greatest rulers, Ramesses the Great. How did Ramesses acquire the nickname 'The Great'? What were the reasons for the adulation he received from his subjects? How long did he rule and how many temples were built in his honour? Greg discusses these questions and many more with his guests, the comedian and writer Sophie Duker and the historical expert Dr Campbell Price. Produced by Greg Jenner and Emma Nagouse

  • My name's Joe Wilkinson and I've managed to force Patrick Bamford to come on a podcast with me and he's gonna slowly fall in love with me.

  • Do you go to the tip?

  • Believe it or not, yeah, I do.

  • Do you go to the supermarket?

  • No.

  • You know when all the shirts started getting tight on the players and they started selling them like that to the general public?

  • Hello and welcome to you're dead to me, the comedy show that takes history seriously.

  • My name is Greg Jenner.

  • I'm a public historian, author, broadcaster, and I'm the chief nerd on the BBC comedy show Horrible Histories, although that's mostly for the kids.

  • And here we pair up the finest historians with comedy royalty to bring you a hilarious history lesson without the crippling student debt.

  • And today we are grabbing our selfie sticks that go statue spotting in ancient Egypt as we lift the sarcophagus lid on one of the most renowned rulers of all time, Ramesses the great.

  • And it is actually our 50th episode, so it's a bit of a Jubilee episode and Ramesses had quite a few jubilees, so pretty fitting.

  • To help me talk about Ramesses, I'm joined by two very special guests in history corner.

  • He's curator of Egypt and Sudan at Manchester Museum.

  • He's a fellow at the University of Liverpool and chair of the Egypt Exploration Society.
