Sir E. A. Wallis Budge (1857-1934) was Keeper of the British
MuseumOCOs department of oriental antiquities from 1894 until his
retirement in 1924. Carrying out many missions to Egypt in search
of ancient objects, Budge was hugely successful in collecting
papyri, statues and other artefacts for the trustees of the British
Museum: numbering into the thousands and of great cultural and
historical significance. Budge published well over 100 monographs,
which shaped the development of future scholarship and are still of
great academic value today, dealing with subjects such as Egyptian
religion, history and literature.
This volume, first published in 1902, is the fifth of eight
volumes by Budge dealing with different periods in the history of
Egypt. The narrative begins with the reign of Rameses I, the first
king of the XIXth Dynasty, and ends with the rule of Rameses XII.
It covers the principal events which took place between the years
1400 and 1130 B.C., including the Hebrew exodus. Budge explores
this rich and important period of Egyptian history in a classic
work of great value to those interested in Egyptology and
archaeology."
