Ramesses Eternal with Prof. Peter Brand

B2Upper-intermediateJune 22, 202619 min

Prof. Peter Brand joins us for one final conversation about Ramesses II: Egypt's "Ultimate Pharaoh." If you haven't read it, I highly recommend Peter's book Ramesses II: Egypt’s Ultimate Pharaoh (2023). It covers everything I discussed, and much more, in exceptional detail.

Meditate, yoga, jogging, nothing relaxes me. Really? My control is totally relaxing. Control?

Like a finance agency? The control agency? Yes, I got a lot of money from over 1000€. You even have secret connections?
