Meet the Egyptian characters in Amr Saleh's YA fantasy novel, Treasures of Egypt: the Spear & the Scythe

In the golden embrace of the Sun God Ra, we, the children of the Nile, flourish and grow, mighty as the pillars of Karnak and enduring as the pyramids that stand resolute against the desert winds. We are the Egyptians, descendants of the gods and goddesses who sculpted the world from the swirling chaos of Nun. We have unlocked the secrets of stone and river, of the stars and the mortal soul, encoding our wisdom in a language as intricate as the lotus flower and as profound as the depths of the sacred Nile. We have witnessed empires rise and fall under the eternal gaze of the Sphinx, yet, like the sun reborn with each new dawn, we remain unyielding, bathing the world in the glow of our eternal grandeur.

Our mighty Pharaohs, the earthly incarnations of Horus, reign over the Black and Red Lands with justice and wisdom, preserving Maat, the essential order of the cosmos, and ensuring the prosperity of our people. From the Mediterranean to Nubia, our artisans sculpt breathtaking beauty into stone and gold, our scribes chronicle the ebb and flow of life, and our priests navigate the mysteries of the divine. The labor of our hands has created monuments that touch the sky, cities that rival the heavens in their splendor, and tombs that safeguard the journey of our noble dead to the blessed afterlife. We, the Egyptians, defy time and entropy, our feats etched eternally into the body of the Earth.
