Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak reat royal wife. God’s wife. Daughter of God. The ancient Egyptian language had Gno specific and separate word for ‘queen’ as we know it, yet for three thousand years, queens had occasion to share responsibility with Egypt’s pharaohs for ruling one of the most powerful countries of the ancient world. But were Egyptian queens ever the equal of their male counterparts? Could the authority of a woman measure up to the power of a male ruler in pharaonic times? Drawing upon written sources and the latest archaeological research, as well as myths, artwork, and religious texts, The Queens of Ancient Egypt attempts to answer these questions and more by examining the variety of roles of an Egyptian queen through time: queen consort, mother of kings, priestess, co-ruler with a pharaoh, or even sovereign in her own right. From Hatshepsut to Cleopatra, via Nefertiti and Nefertari, all the best known and lesser known queens of ancient Egypt are here. Over 250 color photographs of statues, paintings, and reliefs sup- plement the text. ROSANNA PIRELLI is a professor of Egyptology at the University of Naples L’Orientale.

Sidebotham, Martin Hense, and Hendrikje M. Nouwens or thousands of years Egypt has crowded the Nile Valley and Delta. The Eastern FDesert, however, has also played a cru- cial—though until now little understood—role in Egyptian history. Ancient inhabitants of the Nile Valley feared the desert, which they referred to as the Red Land, and were reluctant to venture there, yet they exploited the extensive mineral wealth of this region. They also profited from the valuable wares conveyed across the desert between the Nile and the Red Sea ports, which originated from Arabia, Africa, India, and elsewhere in the east. Based on twenty years of archaeological field- work conducted in the Eastern Desert, The Red Land reveals the cultural and historical richness of this little known and seldom visited area of Egypt. A range of important archaeological sites dating from Prehistoric to Byzantine times is explored here in text and illustrations. Among these ancient treasures are petroglyphs, cemeteries, fortified wells, gold and emerald mines, hard stone quarries, roads, forts, ports, and temples. With 250 photo- graphs and fascinating artistic reconstructions based on the evidence on the ground, along with the latest research and accounts from ancient sources and modern travelers, the authors lead the reader into the remotest corners of the hauntingly beautiful Eastern Desert to discover the full story of the area’s human history.
