Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ahmose I, founder of the New Kingdom, came to a broken Egypt and expanded it to the largest size it would ever reach. Readers will learn about how the familial bonds of the women who eagerly and expertly guided the rulers of Thebes sustained him, as a lineage of war-making young men came of age on the throne. They will make connections between how modernizing and adjusting to a specific enemy enabled the Thebans to take on the previously dominant Hyksos, while thought-provoking sidebars describe topics like why naming is important, and what differentiates the factions that sought power.

Download or read book Ahmose written by Bill Petty and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 3,500 year old story of Ahmose is being told here for the first time in a book intended for the Egypt enthusiast as well as the general public. Relying on ancient tomb inscriptions, papyrus texts, scribal exercises painted on wooden tablets, published sources, and a requisite amount of conjecture, the author has written an interpretive biography of this remarkable man. Ahmose lived through one of Egypt's greatest periods of transition, from a divided and conquered country into the world's first super power. He was an active soldier for over 40 years during the early 18th Dynasty and fought under three kings: Ahmose, Amenhotep I, and Thutmose I. Through his personal bravery and shrewd investments, Ahmose grew from a lowly recruit into a high ranking officer, and a wealthy land owner, whose social status rose to the point that his grandson served as tutor for the son of King Thutmose I. By the time of his death, at age 67, Ahmose had lived during the reigns of seven pharaohs, including Egypt's greatest king, Thutmose III. In addition to Ahmose's biography this book contains the full translation, with explanation, of his autobiography as it appears on his tomb wall, as well as the translations of several other, related historical documents. It also contains information on the Egyptian calendar, the organization of the military, and other subjects of interest. About the Author: Dr. Bill Petty graduated from West Point and received his doctorate in Engineering from the University of Illinois. He has studied Egyptian History for the past 25 years and has written several books on the ancient Egyptian language. He is a member of the Egyptian Study Society, the American Research Center in Egypt and The Explorers Club.
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt written by Toby Wilkinson and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Magisterial . . . [A] rich portrait of ancient Egypt’s complex evolution over the course of three millenniums.”—Los Angeles Times NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Publishers Weekly In this landmark volume, one of the world’s most renowned Egyptologists tells the epic story of this great civilization, from its birth as the first nation-state to its absorption into the Roman Empire. Drawing upon forty years of archaeological research, award-winning scholar Toby Wilkinson takes us inside a tribal society with a pre-monetary economy and decadent, divine kings who ruled with all-too-recognizable human emotions. Here are the legendary leaders: Akhenaten, the “heretic king,” who with his wife Nefertiti brought about a revolution with a bold new religion; Tutankhamun, whose dazzling tomb would remain hidden for three millennia; and eleven pharaohs called Ramesses, the last of whom presided over the militarism, lawlessness, and corruption that caused a political and societal decline. Filled with new information and unique interpretations, The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt is a riveting and revelatory work of wild drama, bold spectacle, unforgettable characters, and sweeping history. “With a literary flair and a sense for a story well told, Mr. Wilkinson offers a highly readable, factually up-to-date account.”—The Wall Street Journal “[Wilkinson] writes with considerable verve. . . . [He] is nimble at conveying the sumptuous pageantry and cultural sophistication of pharaonic Egypt.”—The New York Times

Download or read book The Crook and Flail written by Libbie Hawker and published by Running Rabbit Press. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The son of the god must take her rightful place on Egypt's throne. Hatshepsut longs for power, but she is constrained by her commitment to maat – the sacred order of righteousness, the way things must be. Her mother claims Hatshepsut is destined for Egypt's throne – not as the king's chief wife, but as the king herself, despite her female body. But a woman on the throne defies maat, and even Hatshepsut is not so bold as to risk the safety of the Two Lands for her own ends. As God's Wife of Amun, she believes she has found the perfect balance of power and maat, and has reconciled herself to contentment with her station. But even that peace is threatened when the powerful men of Egypt plot to replace her. They see her as nothing but a young woman, easily used for their own ends and discarded. But she is the son of the god Amun, and neither her strength nor her will can be so easily discounted. As the machinations of politics drive her into the hands of enemies and the arms of lovers, onto the battlefield and into the childbed, she comes face to face with maat itself – and must decide at last whether to surrender her birthright to a man, or to take up the crook and flail of the Pharaoh, and claim for herself the throne of the king.

Book excerpt: Here is an extraordinary novel about real-life Irish chieftain Grace O Malley. From Morgan Llywelyn, bestselling author of Lion of Ireland and the Irish Century novels, comes the story of a magnificent, sixteenth-century heroine whose spirit and passion are the spirit and passion of Ireland itself. Grania (Gaelic for Grace) is no ordinary female. And she lives in extraordinary times. For even as Grania rises as her clan's unofficial head and breadwinner and learns to love a man, she enters a lifelong struggle against the English forces of Queen Elizabeth -- her nemesis and alter ego. Elizabeth intends to destroy Grania's piracy and shipping empire--and so subjugate Ireland once and for all. But Grania, aided by Tigernan, her faithful (and secretly adoring) lieutenant, has no choice but to fight back. The story of her life is the story of Ireland's fight for solidarity and survival--but it's also the story of Grania's growing ability to love and be strong at the same time. Morgan Llywelyn has written a rich, historically accurate, and passionate novel of divided Ireland -- and of one brave woman who is Ireland herself.

Download or read book Lords of the Two Lands written by Pauline Gedge and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Egypt is an occupied land, a nation usurped by foreigners called the Setiu, better known to history as the Hyksos, who have gradually taken over a weakened government in a bloodless invasion through commerce and political power. Controlling the country for over two hundred years through a superior military force, the Setiu Kings plunder the land and slowly subvert its religion and culture. Finally one family of the true Egyptian blood is prepared to make a stand to claim back the authority which is rightfully theirs. Seqenenra Tao, Prince of Weset, can trace his descent back to the last rightful King of Egypt. When his family's lands, their people and their very lives are threatened by the Setiu King Apepa, Seqenenra is forced to make a choice between persecution and submission or a rebellion that will change the history of Egypt forever.

Download or read book Pharaohs of the Bible Mizraim to Shishak written by Eve Clarity and published by Eve Clarity. This book was released on 2012 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pharaohs of the Bible (Mizraim to Shishak) proves the Biblical history is accurate. It explains how over 200 pharaohs of the 1st - 17th dynasties reigned during only 600 years between Noah's flood and Joseph's famine. This breakthrough book intertwines the history of the Old Testament with the archaeological facts and events of Egypt, the Levant, and the cultures around the Mediterranean Sea. By correlating facts of famines in Egypt with the Bible, several major connections were made. For example, thirty huge temporary silos were constructed at Tell el-Daba (Avaris) soon after Ahmose I conquered it, connecting Ahmose I with Joseph's 7-year famine and the huge grain silos in Boeotia, Greece. Hundreds of black and white maps, charts, and pictures simplify the complexity and immensity of the data to enable readers to follow God's remarkable revelation of history.
