The first judicial papyrus in history was born from a royal betrayal

The Last Great Pharaoh: He Saved Egypt… Then They Killed Him - Full Documentary · 47:05 · Video: Easy Documentary · Watch at the source

In short: Watch how Ramesses III, the last great pharaoh of Egypt, survived foreign invasions only to face a deadly conspiracy within his own palace walls.

Ramesses III served as the final guardian of a dynasty that ruled for 3,000 years. While he successfully repelled multiple foreign armies on three fronts to prevent the collapse of Egyptian civilization, he was ultimately targeted by those closest to him in his own harem.

This extraordinary plot resulted in one of history's first written trial records: a judicial papyrus detailing accusations, testimonies, and verdicts. Modern forensic analysis of the pharaoh's mummy is now providing the first clear answers to how the conspiracy unfolded and what ultimately caused his death.
