Title : The Tomb of Saqqara - Pauline Gedge - book

Summary :

Finding the "Scroll of Thoth," a papyrus written by the god's own hand and granting power over death and resurrection, is the dream of Prince Kâemouaset, son of Ramses II, scholar, physician, and magician. He tirelessly searches the necropolis of Saqqara, violating the tombs and disturbing the rest of the mummies. But one does not seek to rise to the rank of the gods with impunity, and Thoth's vengeance will be terrible...
A historical fresco and a magical tale, this boundless quest plunges the reader into the heart of the mysterious and fascinating Egypt of the pharaohs, where everyone, Nile peasant, scribe or king, lives on a level with the sacred and the supernatural.
