In the tumultuous and vivid history of New Kingdom Egypt, Ramesses
III's reign was prosperous and culturally rich. He fended off
attacks by the "Sea Peoples" and others who threatened the state,
he built the great temple of Medinet Habu, and he left wonderfully
complete documents describing contemporary social structure and the
economy. Amazingly, we even have an account from a contemporary
judicial document that describes events leading to Ramesses III's
assassination. This edited collection presents a detailed and
informative look at the life, career, and world of one of Egypt's
most important pharaohs, providing insight both on his reign and
its aftermath and on the study of the political and cultural
history of ancient Egypt.
This collection offers the best new scholarship on Ramesses III,
with contributions from Christopher J. Eyre; Ogden Goelet, Jr.;
Peter W. Haider; Carolyn R. Higginbotham; Kenneth A. Kitchen;
Bojana Mojsov; Steven R. Snape; Emily Teeter; and James M.
Weinstein, as well as from David O'Connor and Eric H. Cline. It
will be of interest to those with an informed amateur's interest in
Egyptology as well as to scholars of Egyptian and biblical
archaeology.
