Product Description

Review

In her new book, 'Tyldesley has added a new, more human dimension' to the picture we have of Ramesses and 'her book should be required reading for Egypt's imaginative tour guides' The Sunday Times


Product Description

Everyone has heard of Ramesses the Great - but what is the truth behind the legend? Joyce Tyldesley's lively book explores the life and times of Egypt's greatest king. Ramesses II was the archetypal Egyptian pharoah: a mighty warrior, an extravagant builder and the father of scores of children. His momuments and image were to be found in every corner of the Egyptian empire. This is his amazing story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 23 Oct 2001
Joyce Tyldesley yet again provides us with another astonishing account of one of Egypt's greatest pharaohs.
Having read many books by the author and in my search to read a book about the greatest pharaoh of Egypt having been to many of his temples including Abu-Simbul, Luxor temple and the Ramesseum. The author gives a detailed description and brings to life the battles at Qadesh, the temple building of the great pharaoh and his family connections.
The book is another excellent informative by a great author and has lead me to reaf "The Lost Tomb" by Ken Weeks a must read if you are interested in Ramesses and his tomb for his sons Kv5 .

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent as usual, 18 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ramesses: Egypt's Greatest Pharaoh (Hardcover)
The author speaks for herself: "Almost every year our bookshops are blessed with a new bestseller claiming on the most flimsy of evidence to reveal at least one of the mysteries of the ancient world. Those who criticize, no matter how well-armed with facts, are generally dismissed as being over-cautious, fuddy-duddy or lacking in imagination. Needless to say, this book will take a traditional approach to the presentation of facts. The history of Ramesses II is a fascinating story in its own right and needs no artificial enhancement to make it acceptable to the modern reader." Tyldesley delivers again. Excellent as usual.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have nothing but praise for both the author and her book, 11 Oct 2001
By marchbrady@hotmail.com (Dunfermline, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This book has got the lot! It's fascinating, detailed, doesn't go off at a tangent, and only occasionally does Tyldesley theorize ..... a big thumbs up!
