This is the third volume of my History of Ancient Egypt.Volume One tells how in the course of two millennia the first communities of farmers on the lower Nile had amalgamated and built four colossal pyramids and the pharaonic state. Volume Two describes the operations of the courts of the Old and Middle Kingdoms – both of which have been cast in bright new lights following several recent discoveries. Volume Three deals, primarily, with the age of the New Kingdom, the age of Hatshepsut and Tutankhamun, of Ramesses the Great and Nefertiti, whose relics have come to shape the best part of ancient Egypt’s popular identity. This is, as well, the most fantasized period in all of ancient history.Epitomized in the late-Romantic histories of Gaston Maspero (1846–1916) and given scholarly rigour by Adolf Erman and James Henry Breasted in the decades before the First World War, the traditional narratives of pharaonic history had been cemented after the British invasion of the semi-independent Ottoman Province of Egypt in 1882 whilst it was under the governance of Evelyn Baring, later Lord Cromer, when unprecedented numbers of Western egyptologists were given the run of its antiquities.As the sixth son of the second marriage of the head of an international bank, Evelyn Baring spent his adult life in the manner of those times, in colonial administration. His mission in Egypt, a land of peasant farmers, huge estates and an international income from the sale of cotton, was to protect the British-owned Suez Canal – the highway to British India – to ‘save society’, and enable repayment of the national debt to its European creditors. Cromer’s obituary in the Times of London describes him as ‘a great ruler, and the maker of modern Egypt’, a thankless two decade-long task as he describes it, which had entailed the reformation of Egypt’s government, railways and irrigation systems whilst simultaneously lowering the national literacy rate, endorsing unjust executions…
