Product Description
Book Description
Though rarely visited by tourists, Lahun is one of the most famous modern place-names in Egyptian archaeology, because in 1889 Flinders Petrie uncovered nearby what is still today the largest known Middle Kingdom town – a site he called ‘Kahun’. In this new book the author, who has studied the hieratic papyri from Lahun over two decades, introduces the extraordinary plan and unique range of finds from the Petrie excavations of the town-site, alongside the other remarkable archaeological sites of the area: cemeteries of all ages from the Early Dynastic to the Roman Period, and, overshadowing them all, the pyramid of the burial complex built for king Senusret II, fourth king of the Twelfth Dynasty (reigned about 1882-1872 BC).
