Got 1, 3 and 5. They're good - but of course this is a subjrctive list. My favourites - and 'must haves' for anyone interested in the topic, in descendibng order are....and this will change by tomorrow... 5. The Complete Pyramids (Thames &Hudson. 4. The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt (OUP) 3 Amarna SEunset * Aidan Dodson (American university, Cairo (AUC) press) 2. Egypt: Anatomy of a civilisation (Barry Kemp) 1. Akhenaten; Egypt's false prophet (Nicolas Reeves) * - companion to rhe equally well written "Amarna Sunrise". I'm reading "Scanning the Royal Mummies" (Zahi Hawass). I don't particularly like Hawass, but this is his account of the 2010 project to scan the eighteenth dynasty royal mummies which gives afascinating insight into the family tree as well as sisease and treatment thereof, of three centuries and more of royal dead.
