The first three chapters cover the development of Richard Parker's seminal study from 1950 and move into the present stage of scholarship. Very important is the author's clarification of what Parker wrote in his paradigmatic work, a slim volume often misunderstood. Hence, the thrust of argument concentrates upon the dating of feasts, the names of the Egyptian months and their metamorphoses, in addition to the retention of lunar-based phenomena. Two final chapters turn to the military aspects of New Kingdom warfare, with emphasis placed upon Seti I and logistical arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthony Spalinger is Professor of Egyptology (Ancient History) at The University of Auckland. He received his PhD from Yale University (Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations) under William Kelly Simpson, specializing in Egyptian military inscriptions. Subsequently, his research orientations have centered upon historical aspects of the New Kingdom, especially pharaonic Egypt's interconnections with Western Asia, but also have branched out independently to include the calendrics of ancient Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 10 x 6.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 31, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48739047407865,"sku":"9780974002583","price":47.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Y2D9u5EF-89780974002583_c7037d28-07a1-43cb-9631-77323d288876.webp?v=1785498965","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/feasts-and-fights-essays-on-time-in-ancient-egypt-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
