Description
The story of Egypt's 18th Dynasty is one of power, wealth and extravagance, but also ruthless absolutism and exploitation. From the female pharaoh Hatshepsut to the enigmatic Tutankhamun, this dynasty was marked by grandiose monuments, temples and tombs built on a system of war, oppression and ruthlessness. The glamour of gold and luxury was tainted by selfishness and ostentation, as Egypt's people and enemies were systematically exploited. This book explores how the rise and fall of Tutankhamun's dynasty was driven by the complex web of relationships between its rulers and their subjects. Pharaohs of the Sun offers a fascinating glimpse into one of ancient Egypt's most intriguing periods, revealing the darker side of power and wealth in a culture where grandeur was often built on the backs of others.
