Author: John Romer
‘A high-quality introduction for those orienting themselves with the period… Romer has woven an intricate tapestry of ancient evidence from the bottom up, accessible to the general reader without losing academic rigour or sensationalizing the past for dramatic effect’

‘This deeply informed history focuses on the New Kingdom, including rulers Nefertiti, Tutankhamun and Ramesses II: crucial figures’
ANDREW ROBINSON, NATURE
‘Fresh, detailed, and often unexpected…

CAMPBELL PRICE, ANCIENT EGYPT MAGAZINE
‘Romer does not peel back accreted myths about Egypt, he sandblasts them away’
