Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Medinet Habu Records of the Foreign Wars of Ramesses III is a new translation and commentary of the Textual record of Ramesses III's military activity. As such it dwells heavily upon the inscriptions dealing with Libyans and Sea Peoples. Since the format is oral formulaic, the texts are scanned and rendered as lyric. The new insights into the period covered by the inscriptions leads to a new appraisal of the identity of Egypt's enemies, as well as events surrounding the activity of the Sea Peoples. The exercise is not intended to dismiss, but rather to complement the archaeological evidence.
"The Sea Peoples ... still remain an everexpanding topic of scholarly research swimming in a sea of disputation.... Redford's book will help all of us to understand better the phenomenon of the end of the Bronze Age."
-Anthony Spalinger, University of Auckland, Journal of the American Oriental Society 139.4 (2019)
