About this ebook
The first relic to welcome a visitor of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo is an ancient stone with strange inscriptions on it. There is a good chance that nobody will give two hoots about this unimpressive antique stone from the past. After all, just a few paces away stands the extravagant tomb of the mysterious pharaoh Tutankhamun. But it is the most treasured and revered piece of antiquity that Egyptologists had been in search of for hundreds of centuries. It goes by the name the Narmer Palette and archeologists dare to believe that it is Egypt's birth certificate. For ages, archeologists and Egyptologists have dedicated and sacrificed their entire lives excavating and exhuming ruins that lay buried and hidden in Egypt's barren desert landscape. The finding of Narmer palette in circa 1922 was a watershed moment. Ancient Egypt is one of the most fascinating civilizations that have awed and mesmerized archaeologists and common man alike. An extraordinary tale of a civilization that survived three millennia had been buried under the sands of time until a few decades ago when archaeologist Howard Carter was successful in digging out a tomb of an Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun. From mysterious and fearsome mummies to marvelous pyramids, from the way they lived to the way they mourned their dead, from hieroglyphics to the rock paintings, the ancient pharaonic Egyptians never fail to tantalize people to this day. The story of these extraordinary people is shrouded in mystery and centuries-old layers of antiquity only make it even more obscure. The colossal monuments scream of architectural finesse that these people exhibited 3000 years ago. The tombs in the Valley of the Kings safely housed the bodies of the kings that ruled the ancient Egyptian people with an iron fist. The God-like status accorded to the rulers is apparent in the extravagant embellishments and riches that abound in these tombs. Resting within its walls untouched and unperturbed by time was the venerated and majestic pharaohs of antiquity. This book attempts to retell the breathtaking stories of the men and women who thought about death much more than any other civilization; a people who believed that death was not an end but a pathway to eternity; people who began as humble farmers on the Nile basin to rise to the lofty heights of one of the most enduring and everlasting empires in the world.
