This publication looks at the mysterious events surrounding the
death of Rameses III, something that has puzzled historians,
archaeologists, and Egyptologists. Now archaeologist Susan Redford
investigates the circumstances of the ancient pharoah's death - and
discovers among the women of his harem the threads of a murder
conspiracy. Evidence is accumulated from ancient papyri and careful
readings of temple carvings and a theory involving divisions
between clans and rival lineages culminating in a murder plot, is
put forward. The work gives insights into ancient Egypt's highly
refined legal and judicial systems, which merge abstract notions of
equity with mutilation and death. This new eplanation of the harem
conspiracy casts new light on crime, punishment, and the role of
women in Egyptian society. It further interprets the legacy of the
assassination as a contribution to the decline of Egyptian power. A
text that aims to ignite interest in both students and the general
public, as well as challenging specialists in this field.
