The pharaoh Sesostris I reigned Egypt for almost 45 years. This volume explores the golden age that flourished during his reign and also sets out to analyze its multiple aspects. It aims to establish a chronological framework that take into account the many events related to Sesostris military campaigns in Nubia, expeditions to the quarries, and construction activities. Representations of royal power in literature, architecture, and sculpture are investigated, including a full catalog of known statues of Sesostris I, as well as those that can now be excluded from the corpus.
