description: This book follows the life story of Amenhotep III one of the most important rulers of ancient Egypt from his birth and into the afterlife. Amenhotep III ruled for 38 years from ca. 1391-1353 during the apex of Egypt's international and artistic power. Arielle P. Kozloff situates Amenhotep in his time chronicling not only his life but also the key political and military events that occurred during his lifetime and reign as well as the evolution of religious rituals and the cult of the pharaoh. She further examines the art and culture of the court including its palaces villas furnishings and fashions. Through the exploration of abundant evidence from the period in the form of both textual and material culture Kozloff richly re-creates all aspects of Egyptian civilization at the height of the Mediterranean Bronze Age.
