Description

How the west was won. Around 1298 BCE, King Sety I (Men-ma’at-Ra) attacked the peoples of modern-day Libya and, in a supposedly swift victory, took many captives back to Egypt. The relationship between Libyans and ancient Egyptians is complicated, but we go in search of some answers…

Date: c.1298 BCE (Sety I, year 6).

Music intro/outro: “Godzilla theme” by Akira Ifukube, cover version by Luke Chaos.

Music interludes by: Keith Zizza, Luke Chaos.

Sety’s War Reliefs at Karnak: Available in Open Access at The University of Chicago.
