You'll follow \"the heretic king\" Akhenaten, his son Tutankhamun, and their three Amana-Period successors as they employ double-edge diplomacy and military might to defeat competing powers, quell internal insurrections, and keep reluctant subject states in line. This vivid and absorbing chronicle will forever change the way you think about the glories and riches of ancient Egypt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780471743583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"John Coleman Darnell, Colleen Manassa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637619355804,"sku":"9780471743583","price":28.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_77242931-379b-4d70-afe9-30010aa1354f.jpg?v=1603845259","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tutankhamun-s-armies-9780471743583","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
