The Black Pharaoh

by Christian Jacq

Buy the book from:

4.5

Piye, the Kushite ruler of Napata, looks north toward a divided and weakened Egypt where temples have lost authority and local powers compete for control. His campaign becomes both a political conquest and a religious restoration, framed by his devotion to Amun and his claim to reunify the Two Lands. The novel presents the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty as an African renewal of pharaonic kingship rather than a simple foreign invasion.
