Thebes in the First Millennium BC: Art and Archaeology of the Kushite Period and Beyond

GHP Egyptology 27

This volume is a collection of articles, most of which are based on the talks given at the
conference of the same name in Luxor in 2016. It brings together a lot of current studies on royal and
elite monuments of the First Millennium BC , puts them into a wider context,
and fills some gaps in Egyptological scholarship.
