En trois millénaires, l'Egypte pharaonique n'a été gouvernée que quatre fois par une reine ayant officiellement adopté les attributs d'un monarque à part entière. Mais bien plus nombreuses furent celles qui, régentes pendant la minorité d'un roi, dirigèrent de ce fait l'Etat, parfois pendant plus d'une dizaine d'années. D'autres encore eurent une influence de tout premier plan à travers leur époux, et s'investirent dans les affaires du pays en jouant à ses côtés un rôle à la fois politique et religieux. Cet ouvrage rassemble douze portraits de reines dont les traits nous ont été transmis par de nombreux monuments. Les plus célèbres - Hatchepsout, Tiyi, Néfertiti, Néfertari - en côtoient de moins connues, mais toutes ont marqué leur temps, qu'elles aient par leur présence garanti la continuité de l'Etat, ou, au contraire, menacé sa stabilité par des intrigues de cour. En relatant ces douze destins hors du commun, Pierre Tallet nous fait revivre de grands moments de l'histoire égyptienne, de ses origines à la fin du Nouvel Empire.

This catalogue of the tombs of the Valley of the Queens is the first in a series on the photographic documentation of the tombs kept at the Center for the Study and Documentation of Ancient Egypt (CEDAE), an organ of the Ministry of Antiquities. It includes twenty-one decorated tombs of the Valley of the Queens as well as Deir al-Rumi, a small Copto-Byzantine monastery whose ruins are visible at the entrance to the main wadi of the Valley of the Queens. The entry for each tomb gives the identity of its owner, their qualities, exclusively those inscribed on the walls of their burial, the dating and location of the tomb in the necropolis, and a bibliography.

"During the last half of the fourteenth century BC, Egypt was perhaps at the height of its prosperity. It was against this background that the "Amarna Revolution" occurred. Throughout, its instigator, King Akhenaten, had at his side his Great Wife, Nefertiti. When a painted bust of the queen found at Amarna in 1912 was first revealed to the public in the 1920s, it soon became one of the great artistic icons of the world. Nefertitis name and face are perhaps the best known of any royal woman of ancient Egypt and one of the best recognized figures of antiquity, but her image has come in many ways to overshadow the woman herself. Nefertitis current world dominion as a cultural and artistic icon presents an interesting contrast with the way in which she was actively written out of history soon after her own death. This book explores what we can reconstruct of the life of the queen, tracing the way in which she and her image emerged in the wake of the first tentative decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs during the 1820s-1840s, and then took on the world over the next century and beyond. All indications are that her final fate was a tragic one, but although every effort was made to wipe out Nefertitis memory after her death, modern archaeology has rescued the queen-pharaoh from obscurity and set her on the road to todays international status."--Publishers description.

Hatshepsut—the daughter of a general who usurped Egypt’s throne and a mother with ties to the previous dynasty—was born into a privileged position in the royal household, and she was expected to bear the sons who would legitimize the reign of her father’s family. Her failure to produce a male heir was ultimately the twist of fate that paved the way for her improbable rule as a cross-dressing king. At just over twenty, Hatshepsut ascended to the rank of pharaoh in an elaborate coronation ceremony that set the tone for her spectacular reign as co-regent with Thutmose III, the infant king whose mother Hatshepsut out-maneuvered for a seat on the throne. Hatshepsut was a master strategist, cloaking her political power plays in the veil of piety and sexual reinvention. Just as women today face obstacles from a society that equates authority with masculinity, Hatshepsut shrewdly operated the levers of power to emerge as Egypt’s second female pharaoh. Hatshepsut successfully negotiated a path from the royal nursery to the very pinnacle of authority, and her reign saw one of Ancient Egypt’s most prolific building periods. Scholars have long speculated as to why her monuments were destroyed within a few decades of her death, all but erasing evidence of her unprecedented rule. Constructing a rich narrative history using the artifacts that remain, noted Egyptologist Kara Cooney offers a remarkable interpretation of how Hatshepsut rapidly but methodically consolidated power—and why she fell from public favor just as quickly. The Woman Who Would Be King traces the unconventional life of an almost-forgotten pharaoh and explores our complicated reactions to women in power.
