This original study examines the claims for sensational intrigues
in the 6th century Egyptian palace, culminating in the possible
assassination of King Teti by his own bodyguards. New evidence from

opportunity to compare archaeological and historical evidence, and
sheds new light on the political conspiracies and quarrels of the
age. With over 80 illustrations, and clear presentation of the
dynastic tomb excavations, the book also gives a rare and
accessible insight into Old Kingdom society and administration
under the kings Unis, Teti and Pepy I. It will be valuable to all
students of Egyptian history.
