Tales of Predynastic Egypt (Books #1-4) by Mark Gajewski
Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 1.9MB
Overview: About the Author: I have been fascinated by Ancient Egypt for as long as I can remember. I had the opportunity to finally visit Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor and Aswan in 2010 when my daughter was studying Arabic at Alexandria University as a Rotary Ambassador. It was the visit of a lifetime, overwhelming, a bare scratching of the surface of that vast and complex land. A month later came the Revolution.
I own several hundred books about Ancient Egypt and use them to heavily research each of my novels. I try to make each novel as authentic to the time period it portrays as possible. Many of my current (and future) books are set in a pre-literate time with no written records, and so I’ve tried to be as true to current archaeological findings as possible when depicting my characters’ lives.
My current pre-dynastic novels are Daughter of the Falcon God, The Potter, The Women and the Boatman, and House of Scorpion. Next – First After the King (Fall 2019).
Genre: Historical Fiction > Ancient Egypt
Daughter of the Falcon God
The first tale in a series about life in Predynastic Egypt. Set between 5453 and 5439 BC, Daughter of the Falcon God is the story of the first farmers and herders who wandered the then-lush savannah west of the Nile valley, traveling in season to harvest wild grasses along the nearby river. Building on the nascent culture established by Aya and her band, their descendants would, millennia later, create the greatest and longest lasting civilization in the ancient world.
The Potter
Second tale in a series about life in Predynastic Egypt. Set between 4009 and 3997 BC, The Potter occurs during an era in which the Nile Valley’s Naqadian culture begins to replace the older Badarian. The story of the potter Tiaa and the trader Ankhmare ranges in location from mysterious Nabta Playa in the Western Desert to Merimda in the delta, from Badari in the middle Nile Valley to Nekhen, the mightiest settlement along the river, in the South. Tiaa and Ankhmare walk a path which leads, millennia later, to the greatest and longest lasting civilization in the ancient world.
The Women and the Boatman
Third in a series about Predynastic Egypt. Set between 3456 and 3436 BC, The Women and the Boatman is the story of the boat builder Nykara and the women he loves as they embrace a quest to unify the entire Nile Valley, a quest hindered by Ma’ee as he transforms himself from ruler of Nekhen into the valley’s first regional king.
House of Scorpion
Fourth novel in a series about Predynastic Egypt. House of Scorpion (3260-3250 BC) is the story of the mightiest of the kings who reigned in the southern section of the Nile valley in the century before Narmer unified the North and South, a time when trade was expanding beyond the delta and along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, when the first rudimentary attempts at writing were being made, when bureaucracies were being established, when the valley’s proto-kingdoms began to combine. House of Scorpion is a tale of the men and women who laid the groundwork for the creation of the Egyptian state, the greatest and longest lasting civilization the world has ever known.
