Book Description
Enter a world where the magic of 18th Dynasty Egypt comes alive through the eyes of strong heroines. This collection celebrates powerful women and their legendary stories. 1334 BCE. A once-unyielding dynasty is now on the brink of ruin. Step into the sandals of Queen Ankhesenamun, a woman determined to reclaim her kingdom from the shadows that loom over Pharaoh's court. With threats lurking around every pillar, and trust a rare commodity, Ankhesenamun must navigate the treacherous sands to protect the man she loves — a man she knows will die by her own hand. As the sun sets over the Nile, embark on a new journey with The Amarna Princesses series, a companion series picking up the tale of a self-trained warrior and two of Ankhesenamun’s sisters. Tey must leave her home and everything she knows to smuggle away two spoiled princesses before they can be assassinated. But one princess hides a dangerous magic that could destroy them all. At 2400 pages (more than 670,000 words), this collection invites you to linger in the captivating embrace of Ancient Egypt. It’s a journey that defies both time and the boundaries between the realms of mortals and the gods. A place where women’s stories are woven into the very fabric of history and where the old gods still linger.

The Amarna Princesses series: Outcast, Catalyst, and Warrior. Bonus content: Keeper of the Bad Thing. A short story set in the world of The Amarna Age. Nine full length novels, a novella, and a short story.

Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE
Author: Edward F. Malkowski
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1591439795
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
A view into the sophisticated and highly advanced civilization that preceded the world of the pharaohs • Presents historical evidence of the civilization ruled by the “gods” that the Egyptians claimed preceded their own • Explains who these prehistoric people were, what happened to them, and why they built a series of pyramids along the west bank of the Nile River Traditional Egyptologists have long resisted the notion that the architectural achievements of the Ancient Egyptians required the existence of a much more sophisticated technology than would have existed at that time. Yet, no records exist explaining how, why, or who built Egypt’s megalithic monuments and statues. The ancient Egyptians did, however, record that their civilization resided in the shadow of a kingdom of “gods” whose reign ended many thousands of years before their first dynasty. What was this Civilization X that antiquity’s most accomplished people revered as gods? The recent discovery of a large stone at one of Egypt’s oldest ruins presents physical evidence that clearly and distinctly shows the markings of a machining process far beyond the capabilities of the Ancient Egyptians. Likewise, experimental modeling of the Great Pyramid’s subterranean chambers and passageways gives scientific evidence to further support the theory that the civilization responsible for such magnificent monuments is much older than presently believed. Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE examines this evidence from historical and technical points of view, explaining who these prehistoric people were, what happened to them, why they built their civilization out of granite, and why they built a series of pyramids along the west bank of the Nile River.

Ancient Egyptian Portraiture
Author: Alessio Delli Castelli
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004714685
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 857
Book Description
Ancient Egyptian Portraiture: History of an Idea concerns the origin, nature, and removal, the unravelling and explanation of the impasse pertaining to the definition, assessment, and judgement of Ancient Egyptian portraiture. Condensed in the syntagm different from ours, this impasse arises from the polarisation and dichotomy of idealism and realism which characterise the three main Egyptological definitions of portraiture. In offering a transcendental definition of art and portraiture that is anthropologically valid, the overarching aim of this book is to challenge assessments of Egyptian art and portraiture based on historically particularistic concepts that are foreign to its cultural premises and development.

Memory of Empires: Ancient Egypt - Ancient Greece - Persian Empire - Roman Empire - Byzantine Empire
Author: Elie Faure
Publisher: Parkstone International
ISBN: 1644618176
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 441
Book Description
Empires are born. Empires reach their peak. Empires die, but leave their mark through their architecture and artistic achievements. From these specks of dust of memory, 40 centuries of history shape our world of the 21st century. The power of ancient Egypt was followed by the influence of Greece, which brought the Persian East together in the conquests of Alexander the Great. After Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt, Rome became the power that ruled part of the world, finally dying out in the fall of the Byzantine Empire on 29 May 1453. The authors take the reader on a journey through time and space and highlight the succession of these civilisations that rubbed shoulders, even fought against each other and led us towards a more enlightened humanity.
