For more than three thousand years, the mysterious events surrounding the death of Ramesses III have puzzled historians and students of ancient Egypt. Now, archaeologist Susan Redford investigates the circumstances of the ancient pharaoh's death and discovers among the women of his harem the threads of a murder conspiracy.

From new translations of ancient papyri and careful readings of temple carvings, Redford identifies the suspects in the assassination--wives, concubines, and attendants. She evaluates the evidence against them and outlines a possible murder plot that turns upon a shocking revelation about the pharaoh's immediate family. On the basis of new discoveries relating to the identity of Ramesses III's queens and their sons, she uncovers a primary motive for regicide and presents persuasive evidence of a palace revolt. Divisions between clans and rival lineages, she argues, gave rise to a plot to murder the king.

Richly illustrated with thirty photos and diagrams, Redford's groundbreaking investigation of the plot to murder the last of the great pharaohs offers an extraordinary vision of the ancient Egyptian world.

Attractive, well-made functional storage
Color: Dusty Blue, Size: 2 Layers, 20 Hooks
I'm quite happy with this product. It's an orderly and attractive way to store a lot of jewelry. I've put my favorites in the visible front drawer and can easily see the rest by pulling out the back drawer. I looked at a similar storage box with see-through panels on both sides, but it didn't look quite as well made and you'd have to turn it around to see side B (i.e., no less work than pulling out the back drawer). This unit feels well put together, looks nice, and sits stably on top my dresser. I'm only using it for chain-and-pendant style necklaces (leaving the bulkier stuff in an upright acrylic spoke-style container) but have it fully loaded and have doubled up on a few pegs. None of the pegs bent while I was adding pieces.

Great necklace organizer!

This necklace organizer is perfect for keeping necklaces separated and in view. I was tired of having them tangled in my jewelry box and this does the trick. Plus it is very well made and looks lovely in my closet. I highly recommend this for people who want to keep their necklaces organized!
