Title : The World of Ramses - Claire Lalouette - book

Summary :

A true dive into the Ramses dynasty, during the two centuries in which they shone, offered by one of the best specialists in Egyptian Antiquity.

Claire Lalouette, a former member of the French Institute of Archaeology in Cairo and professor emeritus at the Sorbonne, has the talent to make the subtleties of ancient Egypt clear to the contemporary reader. And particularly here, the golden age of the Ramses, between 1314 and 1085 BC. She dissects the daily lives of the Nile peasants as well as those of the soldiers who pushed the kingdom's boundaries as far as Mesopotamia and Sudan. She recounts popular superstitions as well as the founding myths of power, the developments of Luxor, Karnak, and Memphis, and the threats weighing on the kingdom.
This erudite and entertaining account will become a guide for both amateurs and connoisseurs of Egypt.
