The Private Lives of the Pharaohs - Thryft

Unearthing the Secrets of Ancient Egypt

This book is a great read for those interested in the scientific investigations behind ancient Egyptian civilization. With a combination of evidence from various sources, it offers a glimpse into the lives and deaths of those who once lived along the Nile. The book covers topics like the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza, the end of the 18th Dynasty, and the life of a female temple singer. Through the use of scientific techniques, readers can now draw previously unattainable conclusions about the lives and health of those in ancient Egypt.

Description

The Private Lives of the Pharaohs traces three major scientific investigations as they reconsider some of the oldest and most puzzling questions in who exactly built the Great Pyramid of Giza, how did they do it, and why? Why did the claustrophobic 18th Dynasty die out? Was it the result of incest and inherited disease? And who exactly was the boy-pharaoh Tutankhamen? DNA analysis and the re-examination of a nameless skeleton play their part in determining the sequence of events at the end of this turbulent era. The investigation allows us to draw remarkable conclusions concerning hidden aspects of life and health at the very end of the New Kingdom.
