In Child of the Sun, Edwards tells the story of Amenemhat III, one of the most powerful and influential pharaohs in ancient Egypt. Born to a family of powerful ministers, Amenemhat III quickly established himself as a powerful ruler, expanding the kingdom and building some of the most impressive monuments in Egypt. But Amenemhat III's reign was also marked by violence and chaos, as he struggled to keep control over his powerful subjects and quell rebellions. Edwards vividly brings Amenemhat III and his world to life, revealing the complex political landscape, the intrigues and power struggles among the nobility, and the dramatic transformations taking place in Egypt during the height of the pharaoh's power. Child of the Sun is an engrossing and insightful portrait of one of the most powerful and influential rulers in ancient Egypt, and an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Egyptian history.; 8vo ; 111 pages.
