"In this book, Lisa K. Sabbahy presents a history of ancient Egyptian kingship in
the Old Kingdom and its re-formation in the early Middle Kingdom. Beginning with an
account of Egypt's history before the Old Kingdom, she examines the basis of kingship
and its legitimacy. The heart of her study is an exploration of the king's constant
emphasis on his relationship to his divine parents, the sun god Ra and his mother,
the goddess Hathor, who were two of the most important deities backing the rule of
a divine king. Sabbahy focuses on the cardinal importance of this relationship, which
is reflected in the king's monuments, particularly his pyramid complexes, several
of which are analysed in detail. Sabbahy also offers new insights into the role of
queens in the early history of Egypt, notably sibling royal marriages, harem conspiracies,
and the possible connotations of royal female titles"
