Egyptian Fiction

Margaret Alice Murray (1863-1963) was an archaeologist, anthropologist, Egyptologist, historian, and the first woman to serve as a lecturer in archaeology in Britain. Ancient Egypt Legends (1920) contains 11 stories based on ancient Egyptian legends. Each legend is stylistically adapted to English but in a way that sticks close to the original.

The ancient Egyptians believed in many gods and goddesses. Some gods and goddesses were a part of creation, others brought the flood of the Nile River every year, some offered protection, and others took care of people after they died.

In "The Plot on the Pyramid", the workers building the Great Pyramid are blamed when their supervisor disappears. Only Dafia knows the truth - can she clear the men's names? "The Magic and the Mummy" features Neria, who helps her father make mummies. But when she is asked to mummify the Pharaoh's cat, she is too squeamish to kill it.... "The Phantom and the Fisherman" sees apprentice scribe Menes agreeing to write a prayer to rid Maiarch of his family ghost. But what if the ghost is more human than supernatural?

Sten has a problem — he is having a difficult time in history class. Sten and his neighbor, Hoss Burtage, an eccentric inventor, take off in Hoss’ time machine and are zapped into the past! Now, Sten has the opportunity to learn about history — firsthand.

اعتدنا دائمًا أن ترتبط الكوميديا بالمصريين والفن الساخر بالكتاب المصريين أيضًا فقد برعوا في ذلك ورسموا الضحكة على وجوه الملايين لكن هذا الكتاب ربّما سيكسر القاعدة حيث أنَّ الكوميديا اليوم ستكون سعودية.

A woman is visiting a friend who travels widely, and he offers her a package of Egyptian cigarettes he received as a gift while in Cairo.

Her experience when she smokes one of the cigarettes shakes her to her core.

An atmospheric tale in which a lady receives a box of six hand-made Egyptian cigarettes in a mysterious package. When she smokes the first one, she is immediately transported into a strange and disturbing vision of herself, abandoned alone in the desert, in which she feels the acute sensations of love, loss, grief and suicidal despair. An eight minute emotional rollercoaster.
