Romer John - A History Of Ancient Egypt Volume 3 From The Shepherd Kings To The End Of The Theban Monarchy - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The final chapter in the definitive three - volume history of the world's first known state Archaeologist John Romer has spent a lifetime chronicling the history of Ancient Egypt and here he tells the epic story of an era dominated by titans of the popular imagination: the radical iconoclast Akhenaten the boy - king Tutankhamun and the all - conquering Ramesses II. But 'heroes do not forge history by themselves. This was also a time of international trade cultural exchange and sophisticated art even in the face of violent change. Alongside his visionary new history of this the most famous period in the long history of Ancient Egypt Romer turns a critical eye on Egyptology itself. Paying close attention to the evidence he corrects prevailing narratives which cast the New Kingdom as an imperial state power in the European mould. Instead he reveals - through broken artefacts in ruined workshops or preserved letters between a tomb - builder and his son - a culture more beautiful and beguiling than we could have imagined. Romer carefully reconstructs the real story of the New Kingdom as evidenced in the archaeological record and the result - the final volume of a life long project - secures his status as Ancient Egypt's finest chronicler.
