MIDDLE KINGDOM STUDIES

 

This is the Middle Kingdom division of my Thematic book-files catalogue. It's focused on pharaonic history from the middle of IXth dynasty up the late XIII dynasty (approx. 2040- 1700/1650 BCE), and so including the Second Intermediate Period of the Hyksos invasion (1700/1650-1550 BCE). 
This period is so remarcable with monumental architecture in Lisht, wonderful tombs in Beni Hassan and other places. In this age literature so flourished with Coffin Texts, fairy tales and authobiographies, first scientific papyri and codification of the classic hieroglyphic Egyptian language: Middle Egyptian.
