Having THE EGYPTIANS from Barbara Watterson, I was delighted to obtain this book also. I've had both these books in my home library for close to a decade now and value both of them. I realize some reviewers enjoy the work of other writers but don't see the need to disparage the honest work of other learned writers.
Both of these books, THE EGYPTIANS and AMARNA will not only inform but hold each reader's attention. And while the AMARNA book contains copious photographs of both color and non-color, none are crooked. Really, what absurd, unwarranted accusations authors at times have foisted on them. And concerning color photo 15, I'm delighted to see the caption mentions "unidentified Amarna princess" rather than labeled as Nefertiti. Although most readers will readily see a striking resemblance to Nefertiti.
A timely read incorporating all the latest on the Amarna period when published, this is a very informing read by a very informing professional in her field.
Semper Fi.

For many the word "Amarna" conjures up visions of the city in which Nefertiti, one of the most beautiful women of the ancient world, lived in connubial bliss with her husband, the eighteenth-dynasty Pharaoh King Akhenaten. Armana was also the city in which Tutankhamun, today the most famous pharaoh of ancient Egypt, spend the first part of his childhood. Although Armana has become a byword for religious and artistic innovation, it is often difficult to disentangle myth from fact, speculation from reality. In this well-illustrated study, Barbara Watterson, one of the most accomplished of modern Egyptologists, discusses and brings up to date the many theories that abound about the period.
