Amenhotep III by Arielle P Kozloff

Amenhotep III by Arielle P Kozloff

This book follows the life story of Amenhotep I, one of the most important rulers of ancient Egypt, from his birth and into the afterlife. Amenhotep I ruled for 38 years, from ca. 1391-1353, during the apex of Egypt's international and artistic power. Arielle P. Kozloff situates Amenhotep in his time, chronicling not only his life but also the key political and military events that occurred during his lifetime and reign, as well as the evolution of religious rituals and the cult of the pharaoh. She further examines the art and culture of the court, including its palaces, villas, furnishings, and fashions. Through the exploration of abundant evidence from the period, in the form of both textual and material culture, Kozloff richly re-creates all aspects of Egyptian civilization at the height of the Mediterranean Bronze Age.

Arielle P. Kozloff, former curator of ancient art at the Cleveland Museum of Art, is now a private consultant and lecturer for museums and private collectors in the United States and abroad. She is the co-author of Egypt's Dazzling Sun and The Gods Delight. She has contributed chapters to volumes including Egyptology Today, Amenhotep III: Perspectives on His Reign and Millions of Jubilees, as well as articles to numerous journals, including the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology and the American Journal of Archaeology.
