#1 Ineni, the well-regarded royal architect, supervised the excavations of a secret burial chamber for Tuthmosis I. The prisoners had spent five years in a remote valley excavating the tomb, and by day they had endured withering summer heat and surprisingly frigid blasts of desert cold. At night they had slept under a sky shot through with stars.

#2 Amenhotep the Magnificent was a fat old pharaoh who was no longer fit to rule Egypt. He loved Thebes, his northern capital, more than Memphis, his southern capital.

#3 The future of Egypt is at stake. You must take action. The pharaoh and his wife, Tiye, were arguing about the future of Egypt and the boy who would be co-regent. The pharaoh was opium-addicted, and the pain was unbearable. He needed more wine and Resi’s bosom to suck on.

#4 Carter was a curious boy, and he loved exploring the library at Didlington Hall. He was allowed to do so by his father, who was painting a new commission for Lord Amherst. The library was the joy of Lord Amherst’s life.
