Amenhotep III, king of Egypt 1390 1352 BC

A 49minute unscripted talk about Amenhotep III, one of the later pharaohs of Egypt s 18th Dynasty. This is just a reflection of work in progress on a book I am writing about the 18th Dynasty, called The Climax of Egypt. How Ambition, Greed and Despotism drove the Rise and Fall of Tutankhamun s Egypt, to be published in late 2022 by Little, Brown. Nothing definitive just my thoughts about whether he was the real deal or something of a puppet. NAMES (all dates only approximate) 1. Amenhotep III (13901352 BC) 2.
