"Aidan Dodson skillfully gathers and presents the scattered evidence for Egypt's Libyan rulers, much of it little-known to the general reader, and succeeds in clarifying their lives and legacy."--Campbell Price, University of Manchester "Fascinating. A detailed and thought-provoking examination of a very complicated period in the history of ancient Egypt, and a worthy addition to Dodson's series on Egypt and its rulers throughout the ages."--Eric H. Cline, The George Washington University "Aidan Dodson's fascination with the Libyan Period shines through all the pages of this monograph, which is a welcome addition to the growing literature on this captivating epoch. Lavishly illustrated throughout, he gives a clear interpretation of current academic opinion relating to all aspects of the history, major players, and extant monuments of Egypt from the tenth to eighth centuries BC. Additionally, a final section contains an absorbing account of how different scholarly views on the Third Intermediate Period have evolved during the past two centuries."--David Aston, Austrian Academy of Sciences "In The Libyan Pharaohs of Egypt, Aidan Dodson presents an illuminating overview of a fascinating but little-known chapter in ancient Egyptian history.
Written in his usual engaging and accessible style, this book offers both scholars and general readers a compelling account of the lives, reigns, and lasting legacy of Egypt's Libyan rulers. Richly illustrated and thoughtfully organized, it brings clarity to a complex and often misunderstood period."--Troy L. Sagrilo, Swansea University PRAISE FOR THUTMOSE III AND HATSHEPSUT, PHARAOHS OF EGYPT: "A wonderfully illustrated and detailed history."--Kara Cooney, author of Recycling for Death "Aidan Dodson brings his comprehensive knowledge and exacting analysis to one of the most interesting and monument-rich periods of pharaonic history."--Campbell Price, University of Manchester "No other resource provides such a concise overview of this pivotal period in Egyptian history. "--Stephen P. Harvey, Ahmose and Tetisheri Project, Abydos PRAISE FOR TUTANKHAMUN, KING OF EGYPT: "Dodson's historical work is ever reliable, and this volume of Tutankhamun is no exception.
"--Kara Cooney, When Women Ruled the World "By far the best book on Tutankhamun on the market."--Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones, Cardiff University PRAISE FOR THE FIRST PHARAOHS: "Comprehensive, well-written, and profusely illustrated . Recommended"--CHOICE PRAISE FOR NEFERTITI, QUEEN AND PHARAOH OF EGYPT: "The most objective and well-balanced summation of her career to date."--Morris Bierbrier, Egyptian Archaeology "Writing an overview of Nefertiti's life and times is essentially an impossible task. Only a few people are up to this task, and thank Heavens that one of them is Aidan Dodson. Bravo!! Buy this book." --Stephen Harvey, Ahmose and Tetisheri Project "Recommended."--CHOICE "Dodson goes beyond prior scholarship by meticulously chronicling her life and offering up new theories about her origins and significance.
