"A comprehensive, well-written, and profusely illustrated survey of what is known about the pharaohs of the first three dynasties of ancient Egypt . Recommended"-- CHOICE "Aidan Dodson is steadily building up quite a library of well-presented coffee table books (his Lives and Afterlives series) aimed at the general reader, each focusing on a specific pharaoh. While this is possible for New Kingdom rulers, we of course know far less about the earliest kings of Egypt. So this latest volume covers the monarchs of the first three dynasties, but within the same framework, detailing their lives and monuments, their immediate legacy and their afterlives in modern times. "-- Ancient Egypt Magazine Praise for Nefertiti, Queen and Pharaoh of Egypt "Well-produced and sumptuously illustrated and a fine addition to this welcome biographical series."--Morris Bierbrier, Egyptian Archaeology "Bravo!! Buy this book."--Stephen Harvey, Stony Brook University "Impressively informative, exceptionally well organized, and a skillfully presented work of simply outstanding and meticulously detailed scholarship."-- Midwest Book Review Praise for Aidan Dodson "Professional Egyptology at its best.


" --Brian Fagan, on Amarna Sunset "Highly Recommended." --CHOICE , on Poisoned Legacy "With copious illustrations, this book supplies intriguing insights into pharaonic politics, arrived at through meticulous, knowledgeable research." --Book News , on Poisoned Legacy "An excellent book, well researched, well written and well-illustrated throughout." --Egyptian Archaeology , on Afterglow of Empire "A masterpiece of meticulous scholarship . ideal for non-specialist general readers with an interest in ancient Egyptian history." --Reviewer's Bookwatch , on Amarna Sunset.
