Forgotten pharaohs. Kotrell L.

Leonard Kotrell occupies a special place in Egyptology. His deepest knowledge of ancient Egypt was highly appreciated by the community of British historians, although he himself did not make a single discovery, in search of ancient Egyptian artifacts he participated exclusively as an observer and modestly called himself an amateur historian. He possessed a rare gift to make specialized articles precisely what is interesting to the wide reader, and, without acting as accuracy of the fact, simply and clearly talk about the life of the ancient Egyptians, as well as the Greeks and the Romans - so that his books were read out antipersons. There are not so many evidence from the time of the pharaohs, but Kotrell, focusing our attention on the details that science managed to recognize, masterfully brings him closer to us and immerses the reader into the mysterious world, where Menes and Hasemuy, Snofra and Herops, Ekhnataton are still ruled And Nefertiti...
