Produktbeschreibung

Across the deserts and along the banks of the Nile, the pharaohs of Egypt built more than temples and tombsthey built an enduring vision of kingship that linked gods, cosmos, and people into one eternal order. This book takes readers on a sweeping journey through the age of the pharaohs, weaving together history, mythology, archaeology, and cultural memory to reveal how Egypt's rulers became symbols of immortality.

From the divine kingship of Narmer and the construction of the pyramids at Giza to the golden mask of Tutankhamun and the political drama of Cleopatra, each chapter uncovers how pharaohs shaped not only the destiny of Egypt but also the imagination of the world. Themes of power, ritual, war, sacred architecture, and the afterlife bring into focus a civilization that saw its kings as living gods, the guardians of Ma'atcosmic order and justice.

Richly researched and vividly written, this volume explores the pharaoh as priest, warrior, builder, and eternal presence. It examines the interplay between myth and history, temples and tombs, war and ceremony, revealing how mortuary ideology preserved Egypt's identity for over three thousand years. Whether describing the star-aligned precision of the pyramids, the thunder of chariot armies at Kadesh, or the whispered prayers of priests tending funerary cults, the narrative captures both the grandeur and the mystery of the pharaonic world.

For students of ancient history, seekers of myth and mystery, and lovers of Egypt's timeless legacy, this book offers a compelling portrait of the most enduring kingship in human historywhere death was never an end but the beginning of eternity.
