Description: For the ancient Egyptians the Middle Kingdom (c. 2000 - 1700 BC) was a classical period of art history and literature. The Twelfth Dynasty was one of the strongest ever to rule on the banks of the Nile: some of its kings were later worshipped as local gods and were made famous by classical Greek authors. Yet Egyptologists tend not to look beyond the extraordinary royal sculpture and literary masterpieces of the time. Although the picture is fragmentary as with any archaeological record the last two hundred years of exploration and excavation have revealed much of the splendour of the period. This book examines the evidence for the culture history and society of both central and provincial Egypt at the time revealing the wealth of the entire country. In this second edition Wolfram Grajetzki incorporates recent discoveries discussions and publications which have emerged over the intervening fifteen years including new excavation reports for the mastabas at Lisht and excavations at Abydos. Too often overshadowed by the better - preserved architecture of other periods Middle Kingdom Egypt emerges for the reader as a fascinating age in its own right.
