PHARAOHS OF THE SUN - GUY DE LA BÉDOYÈRE KARTON...

For more than two centuries Egypt was ruled by the most powerful  successful  and richest
dynasty of kings in its long end epic history. They included the female king Hatshepsut  the
warrior kings Thutmose III and Amenhotep II  the religious radical Akhenaten and his queen
Nefertiti  and most famously of all for the wealth of his tomb the short-lived boy king
Tutankhamun. They presided over a system built on war  oppression  and ruthlessness  pouring
Egypt's wealth into grandiose monuments  temples  and extravagant tombs. But the power and
riches of the Pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty came at enormous cost to Egypt's enemies and most of
its people. Pharaohs of the Sun is their extraordinary story  showing how the glamour and gold
was tainted by selfishness  ostentation  and the systematic exploitation of Egypt's people and
enemies. 'An impressive amalgamation of scholarly research with popular history' The Times 'De
la Bédoyère has not just an archaeologist's eye for accuracy but also a broadcaster's nose for
a colourful story' Radio Times
