In this book, Lisa 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.
