Apart from the universal fame that Tutankhamun and Ramesses II share, and the proximity of the periods in which they lived, the reigns and figures of the two pharaohs have nothing in common. These two rulers are presented in this two-part volume, dedicated to one of the most dynamic and magnificent periods of Ancient Egypt's history. It is written by the famous Egyptologist T.G.H. James and illustrated by renowned photographers and includes reconstructive drawings that bring to life the pomp and drama of an age that will never be 'lost'.
