DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 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 Tutankhamun's Armies, you'll 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. You'll 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of all time. It took Carter and his team 10 years to clear the contents of the tomb and among the objects found was a large collection of shoes and sandals. The footwear is analysed here in detail for the first time since the discovery using Carter's records and Harry Burton's excellent photographs along with the author's analyses of the objects, all of which are housed in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo and the Luxor Museum. Several specialists contributed to the volume discussing the different materials (gold, vegetable fibre, birch bark, glass and faience, leather, gemstones) that were used in the footwear. Tutankhamun's footwear is compared with other finds in order to be able to put it in a broader context. The footwear from the tomb of Yuya and Tjuiu, the King's great-grandparents, are, therefore, analysed as well. In addition to the analysis, footwear in texts and two- and three-dimensional art is considered.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKKing Tutankhamun, commonly referred to as King Tut, served as an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, reigning at the close of the 18th Dynasty, around 1332–1323 BC in traditional chronology, during the New Kingdom of Egypt. Akhenaten, identified through the discovery of his mummy in tomb KV55, is believed to be his father, while his mother, the mysterious mummy known as "The Younger Lady" in KV35, was determined through DNA testing to be his father's sister. Ascending the throne at the tender age of eight or nine,Tutankhamun owed his kingship to the unparalleled viziership of his eventual successor, Ay, who may have had familial ties with him. He entered matrimony with Ankhesenamun, his paternal half-sister, and tragically lost two daughters during their union —one in the fifth or sixth month of pregnancy and the other shortly after full-term birth. The names Tutankhaten and Tutankhamun are thought to represent "Living image of Aten" and "Living image of Amun," respectively, as Amun took precedence after Akhenaten's demise. While some Egyptologists contest this translation, proposing alternatives like "The-life-of-Aten-is-pleasing" or "One-perfect-of-life-is-Aten."
