Ramesside Period (Paperback)

The Ramesside Period encompasses the Nineteenth and Twentieth dynasties of Ancient Egypt. It is named after "Ramesses," the name taken by the majority of the rulers of Egypt dating to this period of time. The Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties of ancient Egypt are often combined under the group title, New Kingdom. This dynasty is considered to be the last one of the New Kingdom of Egypt, and was followed by the Third Intermediate Period. The Pharaohs of the 20th dynasty ruled for approximately one hundred and twenty years: from ca 1187 to 1064 BC. The dates and names in the table are taken from Dodson and Hilton.
