Highly educated (she was the only one of the Ptolemies to read and speak ancient Egyptian as well as the court Greek) and very clever (her famous liaisons with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony were as much to do with politics as the heart), she steered her kingdom through impossibly taxing internal problems and railed against greedy Roman imperialism. Stripping away preconceptions as old as her Roman enemies, Joyce Tyldesley uses all her skills as an Egyptologist to give us this magnificent biography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Profile Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44287586828422,"sku":"9781861979018","price":33.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/9199\/6550\/files\/9781861979018.jpg?v=1787577730"},{"product_id":"nefertiti-unlocking-the-mystery-surrounding-egypts-most-famous-and-beautiful-queen","title":"Nefertiti: Unlocking the Mystery Surrounding Egypt's Most Famous and Beautiful Queen","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over a decade, Nefertiti, wife of the heretic king Akhenaten, was the most influential woman in the Bronze Age world: a beautiful queen blessed by the sun god, adored by her family, and worshipped by her people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer image and her name were celebrated throughout Egypt and her future seemed golden. Suddenly Nefertiti disappeared from the royal family, vanishing so completely that it was as if she had never been. No record survives to detail her death, no monument serves to mourn her passing, and to this day her end remains an enigma—her body has never been found. Fully revising her classic biography of Egypt’s sun queen, historian Joyce Tyldesley draws on a wealth of scholarly and archeological evidence to investigate the truth behind the life, times, and mysterious disappearance of the legendary Nefertiti.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44287586861190,"sku":"9780141017242","price":53.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/9199\/6550\/files\/9780141017242.jpg?v=1787577730"},{"product_id":"daughters-of-isis-women-of-ancient-egypt","title":"Daughters of Isis: Women of Ancient Egypt","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn ancient Egypt women enjoyed a legal, social and sexual independence unrivalled by their Greek or Roman sisters, or in fact by most women until the late nineteenth century. They could own and trade in property, work outside the home, marry foreigners and live alone without the protection of a male guardian. Some of them even rose to rule Egypt as ‘female kings’. Joyce Tyldesley’s vivid history of how women lived in ancient Egypt weaves a fascinating picture of daily life – marriage and the home, work and play, grooming and religion – viewed from a female perspective, in a work that is engaging, original and constantly surprising.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44361142599814,"sku":"9780140175967","price":36.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/9199\/6550\/files\/9780140175967.jpg?v=1788925471"},{"product_id":"ramesses-egypts-greatest-pharaoh","title":"Ramesses: Egypt's Greatest Pharaoh","description":"\u003cp\u003eRamesses II was the archetypal Egyptian pharaoh: a mighty warrior, an extravagant builder, husband of the beautiful Nefertiti, and father of scores of children.

The lost tomb of Tutankhamun ignited a media frenzy, propelled into overdrive by rumours of a deadly ancient curse. But amid the hysteria, many stories - including that of Tutankhamun himself - were distorted or forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTutankhamun: Pharaoh, Icon, Enigma takes a familiar tale and turns on its head. Leading Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley has gathered ten unique perspectives together for the first time: that of the teenage pharaoh and his family, ancient embalmers and tomb robbers, famous Western explorers and forgotten Egyptian archaeologists. It's a journey that spans from ancient Thebes in 1336 BCE - when a young king on a mission to restore his land met an unexpected and violent end - to modern Luxor in 1922 CE - as the tomb's discovery led to a fight over ownership that continues to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, this is the story of Tutankhamun, as he would have wanted to be remembered. Piecing together three thousand years of evidence and unpicking the misunderstandings that surround Egypt's most famous king, this book offers a vital reappraisal on his life, death and enduring legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Headline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44361156952198,"sku":"9781472289865","price":32.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/9199\/6550\/files\/9781472289865.jpg?v=1788925840"}],"url":"https:\/\/aevumbooks.com\/collections\/aevum-menu-shop-popular-authors-joyce-tyldesley.oembed","provider":"Aevum Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
