Description
The force that forged an empire.
The furious thunder of thousands of hooves, the clatter and sheenof bronze armor sparkling in the desert sun, the crunch of woodenwheels racing across a rock-strewn battlefield-and leading thisterrifying chariot charge, the gallant Pharaoh, the ribbons of hisblue war crown streaming behind him as he launches yet anotherarrow into the panicking mass of his soon-to-be-routedenemies.
While scenes like the one depicted above did occur in ancientEgypt, they represent only one small aspect of the vast, complex,and sophisticated military machine that secured, defended, andexpanded the borders of the empire during the late EighteenthDynasty.
In Tutankhamun's Armies, you'll discover the harsh reality behindthe imperial splendor of the New Kingdom and gain a newappreciation for the formidable Egyptian army-from pharaoh to footsoldier. You'll follow "the heretic king" Akhenaten, his sonTutankhamun, and their three Amana-Period successors as they employdouble-edge diplomacy and military might to defeat competingpowers, quell internal insurrections, and keep reluctant subjectstates in line. This vivid and absorbing chronicle will foreverchange the way you think about the glories and riches of ancientEgypt.
