Pharaoh - Epic Summer
A young ruler's determination to transform his kingdom brings him into conflict with powerful forces around him.
In ancient Egypt, the young Ramses XIII ascends to the throne with ambitious plans for his kingdom. His reforms are met with resistance from priests, nobles and military leaders unwilling to surrender their influence. As political intrigue mounts, he becomes entangled in an increasingly dangerous struggle for power.
In het oude Egypte bestijgt de jonge Ramses XIII de troon met ambitieuze plannen voor zijn rijk. Zijn hervormingen stuiten echter op weerstand van priesters, edelen en militaire leiders die hun invloed niet willen verliezen. Terwijl politieke intriges zich opstapelen, raakt hij verwikkeld in een steeds gevaarlijkere machtsstrijd.
