Podrobnosti o audioknize

Queens, Gods, and Revolution explores one of the most fascinating and turbulent periods of ancient Egyptian history, when imperial wealth, powerful queens, religious experimentation, and dynastic crisis transformed the Eighteenth Dynasty.From the warrior kings Amenhotep II and Thutmose IV to the magnificent court of Amenhotep III, this volume follows Egypt at the height of its international prestige. It examines the extraordinary influence of Queen Tiye, the wealth and diplomacy of the royal court, and the growing solar theology that prepared the ground for one of the most radical episodes in Egyptian history.At the center of the story stands Akhenaten, whose devotion to the Aten challenged the traditional gods and threatened the power of Amun. The book enters the revolutionary city of Amarna, explores the remarkable role of Nefertiti, and follows the transformation of Egyptian religion, royal art, and kingship. It then traces the fragile restoration under Tutankhamun, the collapse of the Amarna royal family, and the efforts of Ay and Horemheb to rebuild political and religious order.A story of queens and pharaohs, gods and temples, artistic revolution and imperial politics, this volume reveals how Egypt's greatest age of splendor produced a religious experiment so radical that later rulers tried to erase it from history.
