Armana Age

Annotation When we consider the Cretans and Hittites, the powers of Babylonia and Assyria, and the internal conditions in Syria and Palestine, it can hardly be doubted that the reign of Akhetaten marks a turning point, notably in Egyptian history, but also in the wider history of the ancient world. Here the author vigorously reproduces this age, to show the intensely human interest that lies in the story of religion and art of decadence and reform "When we consider the Cretans and Hittites, the powers of Babylonia and Assyria, and the internal conditions in Syria and Palestine, it can hardly be doubted that the reign of Akhenaten marks a turning point, notably in Egyptian history, but also in the wider history of the ancient world. The author of this volume reproduces the age, showing the great human interest that lies in its religion and art, its decadence and reform."--BOOK JACKET James Baikie.
