The New Kingdom Defined.
The new royal tomb, and how two 18th Dynasty rulers defined the “New Kingdom” as we know it. Prof. Aidan Dodson is a dedicated and prolific scholar, whose research covers many facets of ancient Egyptian history (and even WW1 warships!) His latest book, Thutmose III & Hatshepsut: Pharaohs of Egypt – Their Lives and Afterlives looks at how these two monarchs, and their followers, defined many of the aspects of “pharaonic culture” as we imagine it. Along the way, we also discuss the new royal tomb, its significance, and its connection to these famous figures.
