Description

"This original study examines the claims for sensational intrigues in the 6th Dynasty Egyptian palace, culminating in the possible assassination of King Teti by his own bodyguards." "New evidence from the author's recent excavations is set against the written claims of the ancient historian Manetho. This offers the reader a unique opportunity to compare archaeological and historical evidence, and sheds new light on the political conspiracies and quarrels of the age." "With over 80 illustrations, and evidence from individual tombs, the book also gives a rare and accessible insight into Old Kingdom society and administration under the kings Unis, Teti and Pepy I. It will be valuable to all students of Egyptian history."--Jacket.
