Description
“The author offers a revisionist view of the ugly life hidden by the splendors and dazzling treasures of pharaonic Egypt He shows in rich detail that it was a brutal society where life was cheap, royal power absolute and established through fear and coercion. This is a penetrating and authoritative overview of a violent ancient civilization often revered by contemporary scholars and enthusiasts.” -Pub Wkly
Description
In this magnificent history, Toby Wilkinson combines grand narrative sweep with detailed knowledge of hieroglyphs and the iconography of power, to reveal Ancient Egypt in all its complexity--from the brutality and repression that lay behind the appearance of its unchanging monarchy to its extraordinary architectural and cultural achievements.
