Rise of Egypt

Produktbeschreibung

In the mouths of all people was the story of how the throne of the greatest civilization on earth came into their land and recovered the dismembered pieces of her lover. Of how she reassembled him and bore him a son. The magnificent story of Isis and Osiris brought hope to the hopeless, joy to the joyless, and united the upper and lower kingdoms with universal common experience. Great was the story of their love. And of her wrath. This is Book 4 in the six-book series The Beginning of Civilization: Mythologies Told True. The series.is a fictional reimagining of mankind's protohistory as recorded by our original historians -- Moses, Hesiod, Plato, and ancient Egyptian Priests. The series chronicle the lives of the people who inspired our myths and traditions. The narrative is unbroken as new protagonists and antagonists replace those who die. The books become more complex with ever-growing conflict. The series contains elements of science fiction. For 200,000 years hunters hunted, gatherers gathered, they sometimes mated. Then something happened -- Civilization began.Scientific, political, and religious thought had to evolve as did sexual mores and attitudes. New organizational systems were required. And gods took on lives of their own. To understand why we are the way we are, we must first understand how we began. This is my offering. Let those wiser tell it truer.

Autorenporträt

SHORT VERSION: Dennis Wammack: Alabama Born. Alabama bred. All the pride. All the guilt.Seven decades of figuring things out: An engineering contractor with white socks and pocket protector at Houston Space Flight Center in the 60's and 70's. A retail merchant supplying photographic supplies to commercial photographers, corporations, colleges, high schools, and hobbyists in Birmingham Alabama from the '80s through 2015. An author/editor/publisher from 2016 until now. He has a wife of 52 years, two independent self-actualized daughters, 150 world-class photographs, and 1100 masterpoints from ACBL.LONG VERSION: Dennis Wammack was born, raised, and lives in Birmingham, Alabama. He spent thirteen years in Houston working for various incarnations of McDonnell-Douglas; a prime contractor supporting NASA Houston Manned Spaceflight operations, specifically with in-flight-simulations and crew training. During that time, he married Dianne Perry of Montgomery, and they had two children, Jennifer and Catherine. In 1978, he moved his family back to Alabama to raise their children with their grandparents and cousins. They opened a photographic supply store, CAMERAS BROOKWOOD, in Homewood Alabama, where they served primarily advanced hobbyists, professional, and educational markets for over 38 years. The core business of film and darkroom supplies was impacted by the transition from analog to digital. Mr. Wammack states, "We closed the store because our lease was up, our bills were paid, I was old, and I wanted to."After retirement, he began writing short stories as gifts for family members. This segued into self-published paperback novels. His writing is influenced by his desire to resolve dichotomies, especially those suggested during his working-class Southern Baptist upbringing. Dennis and Dianne have a collection of over 150 superb photographs. They are both well past the Life Master rank in Duplicate Bridge. He has a BA from UA in Aerospace Engineering. She has a BS from AU in Computer Sciences. He writes. She plays bridge. They live in the suburban woods of Riverchase.
