ISBN: 9781586637194.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKing Ramses II distinguished himself as a warrior, builder of magnificent monuments, and model for rulers to follow. Nothing will bring his life and times into sharper focus than this breathtaking volume, filled with oversize color photos--many rare--of the ancient temples, tombs, and statuary he had constructed. Among these awe-inspiring feats of art and engineering: the astonishing hall at Karnak in Thebes; his fathers funerary temple on the west bank of the Nile at Luxor, as well as one for himself, called the Ramesseum; and the rock hewn temple of Abu Simbel. Close-ups showcase the incredible decorative detail carved onto the stonework, while maps and blueprints provide a detailed layout of all the structures. From a look at this proud kings military achievements and personal life to his image in modern times, this is an unforgettable portrait of a legendary figure in an exquisitely printed gift edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Brand: Friedman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44658944737333,"sku":"ByrdShop_1586637193","price":64.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1586637193_590778f8-f2d5-4100-af57-80259dd7acf5.jpg?v=1781383443","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ramses-ii-9781586637194","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
