Nuancing Power: The Limits and Intricacies of Ancient Egyptian Kingship in the Middle Kingdom
The focus of Egyptological scholarship is moving away from narratives focused solely on royal monuments and texts to interrogate how kings and kingship fit into broader ancient Egyptian society. Professor Silva's current book project seeks to better understand where, when, why, and how non-royal Egyptians in specifically the Middle Kingdom period (ca. 2030 - 1650 BCE) engaged with kingship.
