Ramesses

Ramesses II was the archetypal Egyptian pharaoh: a mighty warrior, an extravagant builder, husband of the beautiful Nefertiti, and father of scores of children. Even today, epic tales of Ramesses endure. Using a combination of historical and archaeological evidence, Joyce Tyldesley thoroughly explores the life and times of Egypt's greatest king.

Joyce Tyldesley is Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Archaeology, Classics, and Oriental Studies at Liverpool University, England, and a freelance writer and lecturer on Egyptian archaeology.
