542 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This authoritative multi-authored companion covers all the aspects of ancient Egyptian warfare. The rise of Egyptian civilization, persistent aspects of unification, and political dissolution combined with warfare play their major roles. Maps, diagrams, and figures offer key military events that can be easily seen. Historical and archaeological source analysis offer ancient written and pictorial evidence from the temple walls. Invasions and conquest plus major actors on the stage of military confrontation deal with Egypt's empires in Asia and the south (Kush) as well as the take-overs that occurred early by the Hyksos, then the Libyans, and fi nally the Assyrians, Persians and Greeks.
