Did you know that it was during the New Kingdom period that ancient Egyptian kings started calling themselves “pharaohs"?
Previously, they were simply referred to as kings. But the fact that we call all of them pharaohs today speaks about how important and influential the New Kingdom was.
It is also the most researched period of ancient Egyptian history because it has an abundance of surviving evidence.
This is also the time when some of the best-known pharaohs ruled, such as Ahmose, Hatshepsut, Thutmose, Nefertiti, and Ramses II. In this audiobook, you will find everything you need to know about these kings and queens of old.
Learn who united Egypt and started the Eighteenth Dynasty. Listen to the audiobook and find out:
- Who were the Hyksos, and why did Ahmose I expel them from Egypt?
- How powerful were the women of the Eighteenth Dynasty?
- Why was Amenhotep I worshiped as a god?
- How did a woman named Hatshepsut become a pharaoh?
- Why did Egypt strive to conquer the Levant?
- Why did Akhenaten and Nefertiti abandon the old religion and start monotheism in ancient Egypt?
- Why did “Boy King” Tutankhamun bring back the old gods?
- Why were so many kings named Ramses?
- Why is Ramses II one of the greatest pharaohs who ever reigned?
- How did the priests of Amun usurp the throne?
- Why did the New Kingdom come to an end?

I was really disappointed with the narration of this book. Jay Herbert mispronounced many words and has a sing-songy quality to his voice that just doesn't sound right to my ear for a non-fiction history.
Though the quality of the narration was disappointing, the information covered did not disappoint!
So interesting!

again, I have to complain about narrator, Jay Herbert, as he continuously butchered the pronunciation of Hatshepsut. I think the ONLY time he even came close was the very last time he mentioned her. I'm sorry but when you're always gritting your teeth from the pain of severe mispronounced words or names, it really takes away from the enjoyment if the story.
I really do hope there will be another installment, as ending at the 20th dynasty leaves you hanging.
not the conclusion I was expecting

Very educational. I enjoyed learning about mostly the sea creatures.

This golden age of Egypt saw the empire stretch from Syria (in the north) to include Nubia (in the south). This book gives the best guess of pharaohs and their times because there weren't always accurate records kept. Another difficulty was that pharaohs eliminated the records of their predecessors if they were of a mind to do so. Archeologists and historians are constantly making new discoveries because of the lack of a consistent, accurate listing of leaders in Ancient Egypt.
By the end of the New Kingdom, Egypt was no longer united, but divided into Upper and Lower Dynasties. What I like about Captivating History publications is that analysis is given about various decisions, which adds to the reader's understanding.

This is chock full of information. I do wish it had a little bit more of a story feel so one could grasp and think more on what's presented before jumping into the next Pharaoh/dynasty.
Overall I learned a lot, had my mind rekindled on some previous knowledge, and feel I need another listen because it includes so much!
Jam packed with rich and interesting details!
