  • The Life and Times of Akhnaton: Pharaoh of Egypt

    by Arthur Edward Pearse Brome Weigall ...
    The reign of Akhnaton, for seventeen years Pharaoh of Egypt (from B.C. 1375 to 1358), stands out as the most interesting epoch in the long sequence of Egyptian history.

  • The Treasury of Ancient Egypt: Miscellaneous Chapters on Ancient Egyptian History and Archaeology

    by Arthur Edward Pearse Brome Weigall ...
    The archæologist whose business it is to bring to light by pick and spade the relics of bygone ages, is often accused of devoting his energies to work which is of no material profit to mankind at the present day.
