Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have shelf-wear present to the extremities (light discoloration present to the rear board). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The edifice of Taharqa adjacent to the Sacred Lake is among the enigmatic of all the shrines and sanctuaries at Karnak. Little of it has been preserved, apart from the substucture, and vestiges of the superstruture. Even these scant remains have never been excavated systematically. The extant reliefs and inscriptions contain much that is baffling and obscure. Little wonder, then, that the monument has long resisted the efforts of those seeking to elucidate it and its function. The present volume makes available the most complete epigraphic and architetural record of this mysterious structure ot date. Taharqa, also spelled Taharka or Taharqo, was a pharaoh of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt and qore (king) of the Kingdom of Kush (present day Sudan), from 690 to 664 BC. He was one of the so-called "Black Pharaohs" E-002; Brown Egyptological Studies; Folio 13"-23" tall; 95 pages.
