The Egyptian Kingdoms
(Rosalie David)
ISBN
0872265552
© 1988, Peter Bedrick Books
From the book cover : "The opening chapter gives a lucid summary of the 4000-year history of ancient Egypt from predynastic times to the end of the Ptolemaic period (30 BC). Two chapters follow on the rediscovery of this almost forgotten civilization by the scholars among Napoleon's invasion forces, by later travelers and explorers, and finally by the professional scholars and archaeologists of today. Later chapters examine the civilization of ancient Egypt in greater depth and explain such fascinating topics as the conventions of representation in art, the role of the pharaoh in religion, how the pyramids were built and how a corpse was mummified to last for eternity.

L'Empire des Ramsès
(Claire Lalouette)
ISBN
2080813293
© 1995, Champs-Flammarion
De alapage.com : "L'Egypte vécut, av. J. -C., trois mille cinq cents ans de la plus vieille histoire du monde. Elle fut, pour la pensée, le grand creuset de l'Antiquité. Le règne des Ramsès est l'un des points culminants de cette longue histoire. Chefs militaires lucides et aguerris, rois-héros, ils surent préserver leur patrie des invasions. Ils assurèrent aussi la prospérité économique du pays; du coeur du Soudan aux rives méditerranéennes, de la Libye jusqu'à l'Euphrate, le Proche-Orient entier comme une part de l'Afrique contribuèrent à la grandeur de l'empire des pharaons. Dans ces temps lointains où l'intolérance n'existait pas encore, les dieux et les cultes se mêlèrent en une intense ferveur religieuse; les pensées et les mythes se confondirent souvent : immense légendaire où puisèrent largement les civilisations classiques."

The Amarna Letters
(William L. Moran)
ISBN

© 1992, Johns Hopkins University
From AEB : "The author, who has devoted a lifetime of study to the Amarna letters, offers the first authoritative English translation. Meticulously edited with an introduction, extensive notes, and commentary, this book is an essential resource for the study of the Egyptian New Kingdom as well as of Syria-Palestine in the late Bronze Age."

Kegan Paul International
From AEB : "This study grew out of the need for a careful reconsideration of Amarna's set of 15 boundary stelae. The book describes the stelae as official and historical documents. Along with a chronological structure of the reign of the Amarna period, the inscriptions and the architecture of the boundary stelae provide a means of tracing the history of the site, which is reconstructed here."

© 2000, Cornell University Press
Note from Francesca : "This book presents the period between the fall of the New Kingdom to the end of the 25th Dynasty, from the 11th to the 4th century BCE. Providing great details on this little-known time period, the author uses the small amount of evidence to explain and describe the numerous puzzles of the era. Political, economical and cultural aspects are covered. The last chapter deals with recent Polish archaeological work in Egypt up to the Byzantine period. Well illustrated in black and white, and well translated by David Lorton, this is an excellent book covering much information. A very useful book, which should be recommended reading for everyone."

Amarna. Ancient Egypt's age of

(Barbara Watterson)
ISBN 0752414380
© 1999, Tempus
Publishing
Note from Francesca : "After summarizing Amenhotep III's reign, the author discusses the reign of Akhenaten, the history of the cult of the Aten and archaeological excavations of Amarna. This slim book contains full-page black and white photographs. Although it contains much information, newcomers to the subject of Amarna might find it difficult to follow the mention of cities, for their names are transliterated from the hieroglyphs; for example 'Waset' is used instead of the more common name, 'Thebes'. An excellent introduction for all interested in Amarna and Akhenaten."
