Drawing upon new archaeological evidence, Barry Kemp provides a comprehensive reassessment of Egyptian society from an archaeological perspective. He explores the forces which shaped ancient Egyptian civilization: political myth and ideology, the bureaucratic utopia of universal provision of work and food, and the carefully orchestrated theatrics of rule.
