The Egyptian New Kingdom Navy

technology, administration, logistics and strategic operation

Stephens, Michael Allen

This book analyses the technology, administration, strategic and tactical employment of the Egyptian New Kingdom navy. The work draws on the author’s military experience, coupled with practical experimental watercraft studies, and offers a unique perspective on aspects of the New Kingdom navy. While other works address naval operations, the emphasis on infrastructure and administration in this book is less commonly explored. The book offers a detailed analysis of textual, pictorial, and archaeological evidence on the study of ancient Egypt and Egyptian military history. By examining the evidence anew, it casts fresh light on established theories.
The book’s innovative typology of naval vessels and use of experimental archaeology advance the understanding of maritime infrastructure, making it a valuable addition to the field of Egyptology.
