Written in the tradition of historians like Stacy Schiff and Amanda Foreman who find modern lessons in ancient history, this provocative narrative explores the lives of five remarkable pharaohs who ruled Egypt with absolute power, shining a new light on the country’s 3,000-year empire and its meaning today.
In a new era when democracies around the world are threatened or crumbling, best-selling author Kara Cooney turns to five ancient Egyptian pharaohs - Khufu, Senwosret III, Akenhaten, Ramses II, and Taharqa - to understand why many so often give up power to the few, and what it can mean for our future. As the first centralized political power on earth, the pharaohs and their process of divine kingship can tell us a lot about the world’s politics, past and present. Every animal-headed god, every monumental temple, every pyramid, every tomb offers extraordinary insight into a culture that combined deeply held religious beliefs with uniquely human schemes to justify a system in which one ruled over many. From Khufu, the man who built the Great Pyramid at Giza as testament to his authoritarian reign, and Taharqa, the last true pharaoh who worked to make Egypt great again, we discover a clear lens into understanding how power was earned, controlled, and manipulated in ancient times. And in mining the past, Cooney uncovers the reason why societies have so willingly chosen a dictator over democracy, time and time again.

Kara Cooney, making Egypt great again.
Caesar likes Egypt.
Dictators defeat democracy because people get frustrated with the agony of free choice. Unless they’re voting in reality tv-type phone-ins, or buying crap.

Good kings are dead kings; title checks out
Caesar963, I’ve seldom seen such a farty headcannon as yours, try to spot when you’re building a worldview on myths and ridiculous generalisations. Consider historical materialism :D

Thanks a lot! Cheers!

@FatK - Yeah, historical materialism ought to be considered as an example of expedient myth & ridiculous generalisation, true dat. It’s also reductive, pseudoscientific & fatally associated with the genocides & catastrophe of the last century. When will we learn, eh?
People are more enthused by X factor & BGT over in Britain than gen elections, or even brexit. People opt for consumption over community. Is this a new idea for you, fart-king? You monarch of flatulence?
Also, you’re mistaking the book’s use of the term “kings” - in addition to democratic executives & rulers, we have the example of the mindless ideological tyrants - or “kings” - of recent times. Y’know, your lot.

Complete leftist insanity. Features 21st century Kyle Rittenhouse shooting 2 black people in a book (supposedly) about Egypt.
That’s all you should need to know.

@windshear one tiny typo doesn’t cancel this book, also what is lifetest about a reality we are living in.
