Synopsis
A fascinating exploration of the politics of war during the age of King Tutankhamun We think of Tutankhamun ' s age as one of rich tombs and religious obsession, but it was also a time of complicated and ultimately successful political machinations and military campaigns. From the reign of the & " heretic king& " Akhenaten, through the sovereignty of the & " boy king, & " King Tut, and ending with Horemhab, the last king of the Eighteenth Dynasty, this book fills what has been a gap in military history with a vivid look at the history, weaponry, tactics, and negotiations of this fascinating time. Readers will see the Egyptian army in action with its chariots and archers, visit forts on the Nubian border, and learn why Akhenaten impaled his southern enemies. Come along with the pharaohs as they smite Egypt ' s enemies, through physical might or subtle diplomacy. John Coleman Darnell (New Haven, CT) is a Professor of Egyptology in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Yale University. He has written numerous books and articles on pharaonic culture, history, and language. Colleen Manassa (New Haven, CT) is an Assistant Professor of Egyptology in the same department. Both have considerable field experience and are experts in Egyptian military history., The force that forged an empire. The furious thunder of thousands of hooves, the clatter and sheen of bronze armor sparkling in the desert sun, the crunch of wooden wheels racing across a rock-strewn battlefield-and leading this terrifying chariot charge, the gallant Pharaoh, the ribbons of his blue war crown streaming behind him as he launches yet another arrow into the panicking mass of his soon-to-be-routed enemies. While scenes like the one depicted above did occur in ancient Egypt, they represent only one small aspect of the vast, complex, and sophisticated military machine that secured, defended, and expanded the borders of the empire during the late Eighteenth Dynasty. In Tutankhamuns Armies, youll discover the harsh reality behind the imperial splendor of the New Kingdom and gain a new appreciation for the formidable Egyptian army-from pharaoh to foot soldier. Youll follow "the heretic king" Akhenaten, his son Tutankhamun, and their three Amana-Period successors as they employ double-edge diplomacy and military might to defeat competing powers, quell internal insurrections, and keep reluctant subject states in line. This vivid and absorbing chronicle will forever change the way you think about the glories and riches of ancient Egypt., We think of Tutankhamuns age as one of rich tombs and religious obsession, but it was also a time of complicated and ultimately successful political machinations and military campaigns., The force that forged an empire.
