Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This book is about Ancient Egypt during the Nineteenth Dynasty. Readers will learn about the great reign of Pharaoh Ramesses I and the legacy he left. The book also discusses the rule of Ramesses I, his son Seti I, and the Tale of Two Brothers. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.Isabel Wilkerson won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for her reporting as Chicago bureau chief of The New York Times.
