He outbuilt every other Egyptian pharaoh, leaving behind the temples of Abu Simbel; the great hypostyle hall of Karnak; the tomb for his wife Nefertari; and his own memorial, the Ramesseum.

In this passionately argued book, Gildea suggests that the more people who really understand what good history entails, the more likely history is to triumph over myth.
