Chronicle of the Pharaohs
: The Reign-By-Reign Record of the Rulers and Dynasties of Ancient Egypt by Peter
A. Clayton, an
English Egyptologist, is the first book that I know of that narrates the
lives of the pharaohs in detailed chronological order. Pharaohs are
organized by time period and each has a biographical account. Some are
given one or two paragraphs (early pharaohs, for example); others get 10
pages (like Ramesses II). It is the perfect reference book for anyone
interested in the lives of the pharaohs. By the way, many mummy photos are
included.
