It traces the profiles of 34 kings and queens to present an in-depth picture of the history and art of ancient Egypt and its pharaohs. The , as the incarnation of the falcon god Horus and son of the sun god Ra, was the guar- antor of cosmic order on Earth and the intermediary between the gods and men. Some pharaohs left such traces of themselves that they became immor- tal figures: the names , , and Ramesses II remain well known after thousands of years.

This splendid collection of images brings together the greatest art of the pharaohs, and interprets its meaning and aesthetic achievement.

4 architecture and the arts Re:viewing Egypt Image and Echo Photographs by Xavier Roy Text by Gamal al-Ghitani A unique and surprising photographic presentation that invites us to look twice

Xavier Roy’s breathtaking photographs of Egypt offer us a haunting vision of a country and its peo- ple. They are also a lesson in the art of photography itself, inviting us to experience images as metaphor, to extend our notions of reality. We observe the correspondences of shape and texture, perspective and repetition, light and shadow, and the vitality in the mundane and commonplace. A photograph of an acacia tree is juxtaposed with one of birds in flight, their formation and movement echoing the outline and feather-like aspect of the tree. Each photograph is at once an offer of tranquility and a call to interpret. Gamal al-Ghitani’s profoundly contemplative introduction is both inspiring and inspired by Roy’s gallery of images, compelling us to observe Egypt’s riches not as passive onlookers, but as engaged, reflective beings.

Xavier Roy’s photographs have been exhibited in , New York, and Brazil, and his books include The Soul of Cuba and All Our Children. Gamal al-Ghitani is the author of The Mahfouz Dialogs (AUC Press, 2007), and The Zafarani Files (AUC Press, 2009).

This stunning book of photographs captures the graf- fiti and art that have transformed Israel’s wall into a living canvas of resistance and solidarity. Featuring the work of artists including Banksy, Ron English, Blu, and others, as well as Palestinian artists and activists, these photographs express out- rage, compassion, and touching humor. They illus- trate the wall’s toll on lives and livelihoods, showing the hardship it has brought to tens of thousands of people, preventing their access to work, education, and vital medical care. Mixed with the photographs are portraits and vignettes, offering an inspiring account of a people determined to uphold their dignity in the face of profound injustice.

William Parry is a London-based freelance journalist and photographer who has published in , The Independent, and elsewhere. He has worked and traveled extensively in the Middle East.

26 archaeology and ancient egypt Also available: Poisoned Legacy The Fall of the Nineteenth Egyptian Dynasty Aidan Dodson The first book to examine the turbulent period from the death of Rameses II to the accession of Rameses III

After the death of Rameses II, the Nineteenth Dynasty soon fell into decline and familial conflict, culminating in a final civil war that ended with the accession of a new dynasty. Sethy I and Rameses II’s promotion of a concept of a wider ‘royal family’ may have sown the seeds for the conflicts among their descendants. Aidan Dodson explores the mysteries of the ori- gins of the usurper-king Amenmeses and the career Amarna Sunset of the ‘king-maker’ of the period, the chancellor , Tutankhamun, , , and Bay. Having helped to install at least one pharaoh the Egyptian Counter-Reformation on the throne, Bay’s life was ended by his abrupt Aidan Dodson execution, ordered by the woman with whom he had shared the regency of Egypt for the young and disabled King Siptah. Finally, the author considers how that woman—Tawosret—became the last true female pharaoh, and how she finally lost her throne to the founder of the Twentieth Dynasty, Sethnakhte.

Aidan Dodson is a senior research fellow in the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Bristol, where he teaches Egyptology. He is the author of Monarchs of the Nile (AUC Press, 2000) and Amarna Sunset (AUC Press, 2009).
