<p>Ramesses II was the most powerful king ever to rule Egypt, well known for his profusion of wives - Egyptian beauties, foreign princesses, and even his own daughters - who gave him children numbered in three figures. But among the royal wives, The only title which mattered was that of Great Royal Wife. Only four women held this title, two of them being blood relatives of the king. This book introduces the reader to the world of high politics and international intrigue which were part of the very fabric of life in the court of Ramesses, and to the opulent existence of the aristocratic elite.</p>

<p>The Private Lives of the Pharaohs traces three major scientific investigations as they reconsider some of the oldest and most puzzling questions in Egyptology: who exactly built the Great Pyramid of Giza, how did they do it, and why? Why did the claustrophobic 18th Dynasty die out? Was it the result of incest and inherited disease? And who exactly was the boy-pharaoh Tutankhamen? DNA analysis and the re-examination of a nameless skeleton play their part in determining the sequence of events at the end of this turbulent era. The investigation allows us to draw remarkable conclusions concerning hidden aspects of life and health at the very end of the New Kingdom.</p>
