Though mentioned even in Homer as the pharaoh of Egypt who interacted with Helen at the time of the Trojan War, she has long remained a figure shrouded in mystery, hardly known even by many Egyptologists. Nevertheless, recent archaeological discoveries have illuminated Tausret's importance, her accomplishments, and the extent of her influence. \u003cem\u003eTausret: Forgotten Queen and Pharaoh of Egypt \u003c\/em\u003ecombines distinguished scholars whose research and excavations have increased our understanding of the life and reign of this great woman. This lavishly illustrated book utilizes recent discoveries to correctly position Tausret alongside famous ruling queens such as Hatshepsut and Cleopatra, figures who\u003cbr\u003ehave long dominated our view of the female monarchs of ancient Egypt. \u003cem\u003eTausret\u003c\/em\u003e brings together archaeological, historical, women's studies, and other approaches to provide a scholarly yet accessible volume that will be an important contribution to the literature of Egyptology -- and one with appeal to both scholars and anyone with an interest in ancient Egypt culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891161907351,"sku":"9780199740116","price":6807.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199740116.webp?v=1781182585","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tausret-forgotten-queen-and-pharaoh-of-egypt-9780199740116","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
