"During the half-millennium from the eleventh through the sixth centuries BC, the
power and the glory of the imperial pharaohs of the New Kingdom crumbled in the face
of internal crises and external pressures, ultimately reversed by invaders from Nubia
and consolidated by natives of the Nile Delta following a series of Assyrian invasions.
Much of this era remains obscure, with little consensus among Egyptologists. Against
this background, Aidan Dodson reconsiders the evidence and proposes a number of new
solutions to the problems of the period. He also considers the art, architecture,
and archaeology of the period, including the royal tombs of Tanis, one of which yielded
the intact burials of no fewer than five pharaohs. The book is extensively illustrated
with images of this material, much of which is little known to non-specialists of
the period."--Publisher's website
