Description
Pharaoh Art and Power in Ancient Egypt explores the ideals, symbolism, and ideology of Egyptian kingship, uncovering the stories behind the objects and images left as a legacy by this ancient civilisation.
The rulers of ancient Egypt were not always male, nor always Egyptian. This book delves into the reality of ruling one of the greatest civilisations the world has ever seen, examining the challenges faced by those who held power. From royal iconography to the preparation for the king's eternal life, it investigates the main roles of the pharaoh and how they were perceived.
With a focus on the British Museum's outstanding collection of Egyptian antiquities, this book covers 3,000 years of history, shedding light on the complexities of ancient Egyptian society. A comprehensive introduction makes it accessible to anyone interested in the history of ancient Egypt.
