One of the more interesting things about Ramses the Great is he had red hair. I have no idea how they determine it but French scientists using an electron microscope were able to read DNA codes. They also say it is not just a guess. They are certain of it.
At first they found henna on his hair and thought he had dyed it red but it turned out he had just kept it it’s natural color as he aged. He clearly was not what we imagine when we think of ancient Egyptians.
The “making of” extra on the DVD version I have is entertaining, on some days moreso than the movie. :’) YB was half-Mongolian, and he joked about being cast as a pharaoh.
