BOOK - Pharaonic Egypt - From power to twilight

HASThrough fascinating stories based on many years of research, Christian Jacq brings back to life the great figures of Pharaonic Egypt, widely publicized today: the Queen-Pharaoh Hatshepsut, the strange couple formed by Akhenaten and Nefertiti, without forgetting Tutankhamun and Ramses II the Great.With Thebes, elevated to the rank of capital, begins a glorious phase of Egyptian history. The pharaohs continued to embellish the immense Karnak and the "temples of millions of years" and had admirable dwellings of eternity dug on the western bank of the Nile, the Valley of the Kings.After this climax, Christian Jacq describes, with great emotion, the last days of this prodigious civilization of light which is dear to him.But as he himself recalls, the spirit of Pharaonic Egypt lives on today through his works and texts and still promises surprising discoveries.
