Herihor is often relegated to the sidelines of historical narrative. Where considered at all he is frequently seen as a pretender to royal prerogative; a high priest assuming the trappings of kingship. Herihor has also been portrayed as the ruler of Thebes who instigated a new form of theocratic governance. This book examines such views by re-evaluating the art and iconogr aphy of Herihor within the contexts of both the wider ritual landscape and the political ideology of his time. As a result; new perspectives are presented both on the nature of Herihor's reign; and on ancient Egyptian kingship in general.

Writing so well put together ; it felt as though the events unravelled yesterday.As i continue to read about the u-boats in the Bahamas i am realizing Mr. wiberg is obviously very thorough in his research; is adept in descriptive narration and documenting events past and present.In addition;Mr. wiberg is definitely gifted and has undoubtedly perfected this skill over time;one can only wonder what other materials (ledgible or film) we may be given the opportunity to enjoy.Thank you Eric and i look forward to reading more or viewing your work in the future.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Fascinating History with Excellent InsightsBy ClaireThis is a beautifully researched and exciting story about the Bahamas during World War II. Wiberg carefully outlines the little known events of that area. It is a marvelous read for those of us who love history; but entertaining for the general reader. Can't wait to read; Wiberg''s next book.Claire
