Ramses II

About this book

"Over thirty-two centuries ago the glory of Ramses II - regarded as the living incarnation of God himself - radiated throughout Egypt. His sixty-seven year reign was punctuated with marvelous events: no pharaoh before or after would construct so many awe-inspiring monuments, or leave such a legacy of writings devoted to his accomplishments." "In this book, Christiane Desroches Noblecourt draws us into the enigmatic world of Ramses II, providing a reconstruction of the secret sacred ceremony of the pharaoh."--Jacket.
