Yes. She was affiliated with the Oriental Institute, where I docented while taking classes. One of the perks of docenting was I got to buy a reproduction in pure gold.
I have all the Mertz books except the last, in book and in audio. How did Hess do?

I saw a program that said the same thing.

Neither she nor they would have regarded it as rape as it was just the way things were.
If you were the daughter of the Great Royal Wife you married the Pharaoh with all that came with it.
Yet there must have been something inside of her that said that this was wrong and so the letter.
Today they all would be arrested for child abuse.
Including her as she was more then four years older then her brother/husband.

The book was enjoyable. Although I have read some of Joan Hess’s novels, I wasn’t able to detect a change in style, so clearly she was able to roll along with it the way Ms. Peters would have.
I think I missed some books in the series, so I’ll have to check the library catalog.
Lovely gold item!

Yes, things were definitely different. It was the “banged them” term that really got my back up. Probably none of them were particularly after enjoyment, just pure-blood royal offspring. The men could have all the concubines they wanted, the women got ... sand.

Her history books are good too.
Unlike a number of authors she was not afraid to say, "we don't know but this is our best guess with the current evidence."

I think that’s an important point, and one of the things I like about Professor Brier. He talks about how interpretations have changed over two centuries, and reminds the reader or listener that what we now think is accurate is always subject to new evidence.

It seems to be the consensus opinion, in the absence of new and conflicting evidence.

Except for a very few who took lovers after they were widowed you are correct.
Although considering the number of dancing girls they had around I would say it was likely most of the wives had "special friends" Probably even a few sterilized males as well.
As long as you popped out royal children to perpetuate the cycle they were not concerned about where you got your jollies.

I saw Tut’s death mask at the Met in NYC in 1976. Hoping to see it again in Cario next year.
To: Tax-chick
I lost one of the two I bought. So frustrating!
I’ll pick the book up. Thanks. I’ve read all her other books in the various archeological series and disliked them all. But there isn’t a book in the whole Peabody set that I wouldn’t read over and over again.

I guess that’s true, unless it put the succession in doubt ... which friendships with other women wouldn’t. One reads that the sterilized males weren’t, always, exactly.

My youngest daughter is Kathleen Amelia ... Kathleen is after my aunt and Maureen O’Hara’s character in “Rio Grande.”

Fairly often, as well as a variety of other genetic disasters. One American doctor referred to the Saudi royal family as “an irreproducible laboratory of genetic defects.”

My mother saw the King Tut exhibit when it toured the U.S., and she’s also been to Egypt. She and her friends (mostly old Navy wives) loved the Nile cruise so much that they’ve done a dozen other river cruises around the world.
