Publisher's Summary

Did you know that it was during the New Kingdom period that ancient Egyptian kings started calling themselves “pharaohs"?

Previously, they were simply referred to as kings. But the fact that we call all of them pharaohs today speaks about how important and influential the New Kingdom was.

It is also the most researched period of ancient Egyptian history because it has an abundance of surviving evidence.

This is also the time when some of the best-known pharaohs ruled, such as Ahmose, Hatshepsut, Thutmose, Nefertiti, and Ramses II. In this audiobook, you will find everything you need to know about these kings and queens of old.

Learn who united Egypt and started the Eighteenth Dynasty. Listen to the audiobook and find out:

  • Who were the Hyksos, and why did Ahmose I expel them from Egypt?
  • How powerful were the women of the Eighteenth Dynasty?
  • Why was Amenhotep I worshiped as a god?
  • How did a woman named Hatshepsut become a pharaoh?
  • Why did Egypt strive to conquer the Levant?
  • Why did Akhenaten and Nefertiti abandon the old religion and start monotheism in ancient Egypt?
  • Why did “Boy King” Tutankhamun bring back the old gods?
  • Why were so many kings named Ramses?
  • Why is Ramses II one of the greatest pharaohs who ever reigned?
  • How did the priests of Amun usurp the throne?
  • Why did the New Kingdom come to an end?
