Title : Khufu and the Pyramid of the Sun - Guy Rachet - book

Summary :

Egypt is in turmoil because Snefru, suffering from a mysterious illness, has not yet designated his successor. All the nobles of the court are wondering: who will ascend the throne of the Kingdom of the Two Lands? Nefermaat, a schemer, will stop at nothing and hatches plot after plot to oust his half-brother. He has only one goal: to achieve the supreme goal and become pharaoh; not just a simple king, but a true god on earth. Khufu, the rightful heir, unaware of the dangers that threaten him, continues to lead his simple life. A solitary hunter, he spends his days roaming the Fayum and observing from afar the construction of the pyramids, those grandiose monuments that fascinate him. However, his mother, the Great Royal Wife, sensing his destiny, decides to send him to Heliopolis to be initiated into the secrets of the Phoenix. There, the young prince forges strong alliances with the local clergy and begins his spiritual journey. Snefru is now about to abdicate, and Khufu feels ready to rule Osiris's people, if that is his father's decision. But perhaps he is counting on an invisible hand that threatens him at every moment. Is Nefermaat this criminal, or is there, lurking in the shadows, an unknown and far more formidable enemy?
