The story is set during the closing years of the eighteenth dynasty in ancient Egypt. It covers the rise of an ambitious child of a farmer, as he successfully climbs the ladder of power, until he wears the crown of the Pharaoh of all Egypt. During his rise, the novel tries to follow the accepted history of the known rulers. We meet Akhenaton and Nefertiti, Tutankhamen, and Ankhesenamun, and also Horemheb and Mutnedjmet. Many more known and unknown characters appear as we tie the story together. There is intrigue, treachery, and murder, as well as love, sadness, and joy. It’s a bit of a saga as individuals come and go. This era of Egyptian history, for all of its study, has many blanks, and this story attempts to fill them in. It is my hope that you will read it with interest and pleasure.

The Real History of Ancient Egypt proves that Dynasties 1 through 6 are the Bible's judges, kings and foreign overlords of Israel while Dynasties 7 through 25 are classical history's empires on the Nile of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. On the real-time scale, 1 through 6 run from 1480 to circa 589 BC and 7 through 21 run from there to 616 AD. Since ancient Egypt ended in 616 AD with the invasion of Chosroes, there's nothing more to add which is why 22 through 25 run from 292 to 573 AD, the Egyptologists having backtracked unawares. On the Egyptological time scale, these twenty-five dynasties are run from circa 3100 to 656 BC. This means that the Egyptologists have reconstructed biblical and classical history on the grounds of archaeological evidence but then they ruin this achievement by starting the First Dynasty 1600 years early. Most extraordinary is their digging up the evidence for the Kingdom of Israel in the Nile Valley. The tradition of Palestine is false. Cheops is Solomon. Proving this is simply done by noting the matchups between Egyptology's events and those of familiar history. These matchups are so numerous and complex that it's obvious that it's all the same history. The land of the captivity, the biblical Misraim, was never Egypt as it is translated in our Bibles. Misraim was Sumer in Mesopotamia where the infant Sargon I was left in an ark of reeds in the river. That's Moses.

An ancient Egyptian statuette is found on a tiny island in the Central Mediterranean in 1713. It disappears for a century before resurfacing as the centrepiece of an archaeological exhibition.

Archaeological investigators, including authors Anton Mifsud and Marta Farrugia are mystified by the find. What in the world was this statuette doing on Malta well before Napoleon and the tomb raiders following in his wake?

Dedicated to an unusual triad of Egyptian gods, the statuette belonged to a humble tomb painter in the Valley of the Kings at the time of Rameses the Great. In a bid to unravel the statuette’s mystery, Mifsud and Farrugia begin researching the other artefacts that the tomb painter commissioned.

As they unravel details about the statuette, they also unravel some unusual details about the tomb painter’s life, work and family. But the mystery deepens when they discover the statuette is not what it appears to be in I Painted for Pharaoh.

“All objects surviving from ancient Egypt have a story to tell. When and why were they made and how have they survived until the present day? The authors here reveal after long and detailed research, the origins and history of one statuette, investigating why and how it ended in Malta, but also uncovering a fascinating story of more modern intrigue”.

Egypt has all the elements to captivate the traveller and animate the writer. It is an antique land stretched along one of the great rivers of the world that runs through a trackless desert, littered with the remains of a great civilization. There is enormous contrast between the green and still agricultural Nile valley, the empty desert wastelands and Cairo, one of the world’s greatest and most densely populated cities.

Egypt has been visited, marvelled at and written about by innumerable authors, artists, archaeologists, soldiers and diplomats from Herodotus to Gustave Flaubert and Paul William Roberts.

This animated account is based on journals and photographs by the author of two journeys to the land of the Pharaohs.
