Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 1922, a century ago, the most sensational archaeological discovery of all time was made. When Tutankhamun's tomb was found in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, the contents staggered the world and have done so ever since.Tutankhamun, so obscure he was almost forgotten after his rule, was one of the last kings of the extraordinary 18th Dynasty which ruled Egypt between around 1550 BC and 1295 BC, well over 3,000 years ago. Already an ancient society, Egypt under this new line of kings became the richest and most powerful Bronze Age state, dominating the region and creating a culture of startling originality that has mesmerized the world ever since.There was a darker side to Egypt than the glamour and the gold. This was one of the world's first great absolutist states, built round a despotic and brutal monarchy that enriched itself and the elite at the expense of other nations and most of the Egyptian population.A succession of warrior kings, beginning with Ahmose who reunified the nation and established the family line, and including the most successful of all, Thutmose III, fought wars of conquest and used the wealth to create a myth of predestined superhuman rulers with the divine backing of the god Amun. The population acquiesced as the 18th Dynasty kings indulged themselves with massive temple and tomb projects to glorify themselves.The Climax of Egypt is a history of an era that included Hatshepsut, the queen who made herself king, and the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten, whose religious revolution was just another manifestation of selfishness and greed. The book shows how the folly of power and hubris is a story for all times, set against a magnificent backdrop, and featuring the first great personalities in world history. Guy de la Bedoyere's new book is a history of a key period in ancient Egypt's astonishing history that tears away the gold and glamour to show how some of the first great historical personalities ruled Egypt ruthlessly for 250 years between 1550 BC and 1295 BC.

Descripción Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -For more than two centuries Egypt was ruled by the most powerful, successful, and richest dynasty of kings in its long end epic history. They included the female king Hatshepsut, the warrior kings Thutmose III and Amenhotep II, the religious radical Akhenaten and his queen Nefertiti, and most famously of all for the wealth of his tomb the short-lived boy king Tutankhamun. The power and riches of the Pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty came at enormous cost to Egypt's enemies and most of its people. This was an age of ruthless absolutism, exploitation, extravagance, brutality, and oppression in a culture where not only did Egypt plunder its neighbours but Egyptian kings and their people robbed one another. 3,500 years ago ancient Egypt began two centuries in which it became richer and more powerful than any other nation at the time, ruled by the kings of the 18th Dynasty. They presided over a system built on war, oppression, and ruthlessness, pouring Egypt's wealth into grandiose monuments, temples, and extravagant tombs. Tutankhamun was one of the last of the line and one of the most obscure. Among his predecessors were some of the most notorious and enigmatic figures of all of Egypt's history. Pharaohs of the Sun is their story, showing how the glamour and gold was tainted by selfishness, ostentation, and the systematic exploitation of Egypt's people and enemies. 576 pp. Englisch.
