pickFinished! I really liked this one: the style or writing was fast and direct, and the use of the texts from the court of Akhenaten was really interesting. The book explores the cult of Aten during Akhenaten's reign in Ancient Egypt and it's really interesting.

Although it's for only for studying that I picked up this book, I have to say I'm enjoying it. It's really interesting and I like the use of texts and pictures. As History student, I really like these kinds of books

Honestly, I would've never picked up this book if it wasn't for the upcoming exam. It was a rather boring read at times, and challenging in a bad way.
But there were some good parts, like the one regarding parenting and gender roles, so...
Although this is not my area of expertise, as I focus on Ancient Greece and Rome usually, this book is quite interesting: it gives information through epigraphic and documentary sources.
Also, the exam is next week and I'm getting anxious lmao

Since I finished "The rise and fall of Ancient Egypt" by Toby Wilkinson yesterday, today I'm starting "Adorare Aten. Testi dall' corte del faraone Akhenaten" by Marco Zecchi (my professor) for the upcoming exam.

Overall, this was a solid book. Slow most of the time, it's a good introduction to the entirety of Ancient Egypt's history. Of course, you'll need to read other books to get more details on each Pharoah. I appreciated the excursuses on people under the Pharaohs...
