But how did these\nmonarchs—mortals who lived and died like anyone else—spend their days? How\ndid they become pharaoh? How did they govern and how were they entertained?\nIn this vividly written and authoritative account, Garry Shaw conveys the full\nexperience of what it was like to be pharaoh, from birth to death, in private and\nin public, at court and on campaign, and shows how a uniquely Egyptian vision\nof kingship, with its complex ideology and regalia, evolved. We follow daily\nevents, from waking up in the palace to evenings spent banqueting; in between,\nthe king acted as lawmaker, judge, and priest. The most important ceremonies\nare compellingly described, including accession, coronation, and the royal funeral,\nas well as the pomp and protocol of an audience before the monarch.\nSupplemented by numerous box features, from the internal decoration of\npyramids and the women who became pharaoh to pharaonic pets, as well as\nquotations from contemporary sources and a king list with brief biographies\nof all the major pharaohs, this beautifully illustrated volume provides a comprehensive\ninsight into the Egyptian pharaoh and his world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGarry J.
