Excellent- More about The Late New Kingdom in Egypt (c. 1300-664 BC): A Genealogical and Chronological Investigation

The Rammesside empire of Egypt is renowned for its grand structures and extensive foreign conquests, but the historical records of its rulers, priests, and genealogies remained largely obscure. Despite the challenges of accurately reconstructing the chronology, Bierbrier was able to provide a more precise definition of the reigns of individual dynasties and their prominent figures by combining known dates or date ranges, such as the accession of Ramesses II, with the determination of family trees that spanned significant periods. This groundbreaking work is now reissued in facsimile format.
One valuable source of information for understanding the chronology of this period is the genealogical references found on funerary statues and tomb paintings. However, the vocabulary used in these sources is often limited and ambiguous, making it difficult to interpret fully. Additionally, various types of statuary were erected by individuals for various purposes, often by sons or descendants to perpetuate the memory of the deceased. These statuary, many of which may have been created before the individual's death, provide further insights into the period's chronology, events, and family connections.
Morris Bierbrier's meticulous research, which considered these complexities and more, proved to be a groundbreaking contribution to our understanding of the period from the official families of the 19th Dynasty to those of the 25th. His work shed light on the chronology, sequences of events, and familial relationships of this era, providing a deeper appreciation for the rich tapestry of Egyptian history during this period.
