Abstract

Dans l'ombre des pyramides se cachent parfois les sentiments les plus vils. Corruption et pillages sont alors fréquents dans une société en pleine mutation. Grâce aux comptes rendus officiels et aux témoignages parfois surprenants des accusés eux-mêmes, Pascal Vernus dévoile l'envers du décor pharaonique. Un quotidien fait de complots, de grèves et d'abus en tout genre qui, au-delà de la justice rendue, sont autant d'indices pour qui veut comprendre l'avènement d'un nouvel ordre social. Car il y a plus de trois mille ans, une grave crise économique et morale allait mettre à mal le Nouvel Empire.

Abstract

Covering the time span from the Paleolithic period to the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C., the eminent Egyptologist Donald Redford explores three thousand years of uninterrupted contact between Egypt and Western Asia across the Sinai land-bridge. In the vivid and lucid style that we expect from the author of the popular Akhenaten, Redford presents a sweeping narrative of the love-hate relationship between the peoples of ancient Israel/Palestine and Egypt. Who were the Egyptians, Canaanites, and Hebrews? Why did Egypt act like a magnet on the peoples of Palestine? And what did Egypt see in the area later called the Holy Land? Why did she create an empire there? In answering these questions, Redford argues that Egypt's attitude arose from a fundamental position adopted toward Asia in general. This stance was taken by Pharaonic civilization centuries before the Israelites appeared and prevailed long after the end of the Biblical period. Redford uses both textual and archaeological evidence to assess political, cultural, and religious phenomena. He avoids the common bias of placing Israel/Palestine "center stage", but he does draw on the latest research to present new insights into the Exodus, the bondage in Egypt, the Joseph Story, and the Conquest. Egypt, Canaan, and Israel in Ancient Times contributes a wealth of information essential to the history of north-east Africa and the Middle East, and, more generally, to our appreciation of the ties that bind the world's two largest continents.
