Product Description

Product Description

Ramesses II was the most powerful king ever to rule Egypt, well known for his profusion of wives - Egyptian beauties, foreign princesses, and even his own daughters - who gave him children numbered in three figures. But among the royal wives, The only title which mattered was that of Great Royal Wife. Only four women held this title, two of them being blood relatives of the king. This book introduces the reader to the world of high politics and international intrigue which were part of the very fabric of life in the court of Ramesses, and to the opulent existence of the aristocratic elite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 23 Oct 2001
This review is from: Ramesses: Egypt's Greatest Pharaoh (Paperback)
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
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 review is from: Ramesses: Egypt's Greatest Pharaoh (Paperback)
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!
