The Ancient Egyptian Epic of Penta-our or The Triumph of Rameses II is a book written by Charles F. Horne. The book is a translation of an ancient Egyptian epic poem called The Triumph of Rameses II which tells the story of Rameses II, one of the most powerful pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The epic poem, written in hieroglyphics, was discovered on the walls of the Temple of Karnak in Luxor, Egypt. The book contains the complete translation of the epic poem, along with an introduction by the author that provides historical and cultural context for the story. The story follows the military campaigns of Rameses II, including his victories over the Hittites and the Libyans, and his building of grand temples and monuments. The book also includes illustrations and photographs of the ancient Egyptian artwork that inspired the poem, as well as maps and diagrams that help readers understand the geography and architecture of ancient Egypt. Overall, The Ancient Egyptian Epic of Penta-our or The Triumph of Rameses II is a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of ancient Egypt, and a must-read for anyone interested in ancient civilizations, epic poetry, or world literature.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East: Egypt, by Charles F.
