Power and Regions in Ancient States

An Egyptian and Mesoamerican Perspective

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The aim of the Element is to provide a comprehensive comparison of the basic organization of power in Mesoamerica and Egypt. How power emerged and was exercised, how it reproduced itself, how social units (from households to cities) became integrated into political formation and how these articulations of power expanded and collapsed over time.
