New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt: A Captivating Guide to the Egyptian Empire and the Pharaohs Who Ruled (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781637164334)

Did you know that it was during the New Kingdom period that ancient Egyptian kings started calling themselves "pharaohs?"

Previously, they were simply referred to as kings. But the fact that we call all of them pharaohs today speaks about how important and influential the New Kingdom was.

It is also the most researched period of ancient Egyptian history because it has an abundance of surviving evidence.

This is also the time when some of the best-known pharaohs ruled, such as Ahmose, Hatshepsut, Thutmose, Nefertiti, and Ramses II. In this book, you will find everything you need to know about these kings and queens of old.
