Death, Power, and Apotheosis in Ancient Egypt uniquely considers
how power was constructed, maintained, and challenged in ancient
Egypt through mortuary culture and apotheosis, or how certain dead
in ancient Egypt became gods. Rather than focus on the imagined
afterlife and its preparation, Julia Troche provides a novel
treatment of mortuary culture exploring how the dead were mobilized
to negotiate social, religious, and political capital in ancient
Egypt before the New Kingdom. Troche explores the perceived agency
of esteemed dead in ancient Egyptian social, political, and
religious life during the Old and Middle Kingdoms (c. 2700-1650
BCE) by utilizing a wide range of evidence, from epigraphic and
literary sources to visual and material artifacts. As a result,
Death, Power, and Apotheosis in Ancient Egypt is an important
contribution to current scholarship in its collection and
presentation of data, the framework it establishes for identifying
distinguished and deified dead, and its novel argumentation, which
adds to the larger academic conversation about power negotiation
and the perceived agency of the dead in ancient Egypt.
