Occupied for just sixteen or so years in the fourteenth century BC, the city lay largely abandoned and forgotten until excavations over the last hundred years brought it back into prominence. Based on more than three decades of research and excavation by Barry Kemp, this account provides new insight into Amarna and its people.The author brings to life the royal family and their offspring, including Tutankhamun, as well as prominent citizens such as the high priest Panehsy, the vizier Nakht, the general Ramose, and the sculptor Thutmose. 600 00 $a Akhenaton $c King of Egypt. 600 00 $a Nefertiti, $c Queen of Egypt, $d active 14th century B.C. 650 0 $a Pharaohs $v Biography. 651 0 $a Tell el-Amarna (Egypt) $x History. 651 0 $a Egypt $x History $y Eighteenth dynasty, approximately 1570-1320 B.C. 830 0 $a New aspects of antiquity 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706015403.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D53F76CC6B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
