The Pharaoh Who Buried 12 Crown Princes #shorts

He ruled for 66 years, fathered over 100 children — and outlived almost every single one of them. Ramesses II, Egypt's longest-reigning pharaoh, buried 12 crown princes before the throne finally passed to his thirteenth son, Merneptah, who was already in his sixties. Archaeologists later discovered KV5, a massive tomb complex built specifically for his sons — one of the largest tombs ever found in the Valley of the Kings. #EgyptianHistory #AncientEgypt #Pharaoh #RamessesII #Archaeology #History #AncientHistory #Egypt #ValleyOfTheKings #HistoryFacts #Civilizations #Documentary #historydocumentary Sources: KV5 excavation records (Valley of the Kings), Abu Simbel and Ramesseum inscriptions, 19th Dynasty Egypt succession records
