About this book
The contents list of Tell el Amarna and the Bible names chapters, among others, called Discoveries at Amarna, The Restless Pharaoh, The Horizon of Aton, Atonism and The Hymn to the Aton. The text says Egyptian archaeology gained impetus in modern times following Napoleon’s ill-fated Egyptian campaign. The text says that after four years of research Champollion published his conclusions in 1822, which provided a firm foundation for the science of Egyptology. The text says that a more systematic study of the nearby tombs was made by a Prussian expedition directed by Karl Richard Lepsius from 1842 to 1845.
The text says that during the illness of Amenhotep III, Tushratta sent a statue of the goddess Ishtar from Nineveh to bless the ailing Pharaoh. The text adds that Tushratta looked to Egypt for help against Suppiluliumas.
