Barry Kemp
2012
The City of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, Armarna and it's People
Thames & Hudson
ISBN 978-0-500-05173-3

This book looks to be a must have, IMO

"In the Light of Amarna - 100 years of the discovery of the Nefertiti discovery"

Published by Michael Imhof Verlag for the Agyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.

This edition in English and has chapters by various authors covering different aspects of Amarna and the discovery and cultural history of the Nefertiti bust. Some well known, such as Barry Kemp, Jan Assman and Salima Ikram, others will be more familar to a German audience.

There is no information about the Amarna period that is not already known to members of this forum, though it does provide a good overview of all the various aspects in one book. However, it is fascinating for the deatails of the discovery of the bust and it's consequent history and cultural impact. Except for the bare bones of the discovery by Ludwig Borchardt, most of the cultural aspects were completely unknown to me. I would suggest that for those of us who are not Egyptologists, and no matter what our level of Amarna knowledge is, and maybe those who are, this is a book well worth a look, and is very well illustrated with reconstructions of Amarna as well as super photos of the bust itself and other Amarna art.

[waenre]

[Ikon]

Yes, I agree it needs to have been better proofed, the main error being that the book is full of "und" instead of "and", though that's not really a problem as it "scans" the same. I would not hold back in the hope of a better proofed edition, as this is a specialist publication so it may be the only edition.

[Ikon]

I would also suggest that the Amazon reviewer is rather pedantic, particulary when they use a phrase like this "There are typos and infelicities in the translations from the German". And I had no problem identifying text with photos.

Akhenaten - A Historians View By Ronald T. Ridley and published by AUC in 2019.

This I think is a must have on Amarna, and certainly the first chapter should be required reading for anybody wanting to publish their own work, or even to make comment on this subject.

This book is the history of how the history of Akhenaten has been revealed, and to an extent it is similar to Montserrat's Akhenaten in that it shines a spotlight on the nonsense surrounding Akhenaten, but is a far bigger and more thorough work that concentrates entirely on the history of the Amarna period and the history of how it was discovered and revealed to the world, and not modern cultural emanations as does Montserrat.

Ridley points out where at times those in the past who have made pronouncements on what happened and on the character of Akhenaten, have just made things up, and he's not talking about the fringe but luminaries in their day, such as Arthur Weigall, who in the absence of fact created a fairy story about the nature of Akhenaten that some still hold to today.

Ridley deals with all the contentious issues, such as a co-regency, though does not make a judgement himself on this, and the book is full of all the references needed about that and other matters.

[Montuhotep88]

I've been on the fence about buying that one (Ridley)... but after reading your take on it, I just might.

The closer one looks at the entire Amarna Period, the more one realizes that what we "know" about it is mostly a matchstick conglomeration of theory piled upon theory, augmented by guesses and questionable hypotheses.

Of course, that very mystery is part of the draw...

[Ikon]

What's particularly good about it is that it contains so much in a concise and orderly fashion. I think it will save a lot of having to dig out other books to reference something as it's pretty much all here, at least for general purposes. Of course for an in depth look at each of the component parts that make up the jigsaw of Amarna you still need books like The Boundary Stelae of Akhenaten by Murnane and Van Siclen, but to be honest Ridley does cover the aspects of those that we tend to discuss on forums, for instance do they contain evidence for a co-regency, or not.
