Synopsis

Nigel and Helen Strudwick offer an in-depth introduction to the ancient city of Thebes, drawing on years of excavation and research. This guide reviews the site's topography and recounts its history from the late Old Kingdom through its peak in the New Kingdom and its eventual decline. The authors explore the central role of gods in the community's religious life and provide a tour of the great temples of Karnak and Luxor, as well as the tombs of kings, queens, and ordinary individuals on both banks of the Nile.
