The Divine Light - Prelude to the Giza Trilogy (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The first true pyramid, the Shining Pyramid of Pharaoh Snefru is completed in 2601 B.C. One god is elevated and another demoted in the eyes of Pharaoh and the people. Murder and chaos soon follows, with the priests of the demoted god demanding revenge on the one who has wronged them. This man is Quom, Royal Architect to Pharaoh, the man who has designed and constructed the pyramid for his pharaoh. Set against the beginnings of the magnificent pyramid age of Ancient Egypt, THE DIVINE LIGHT, a work of historical fiction examines not only the first true pyramid, but also the two earlier failed attempts of the pyramids before it. It also asks the important question: Why did the Ancient Egyptians suddenly change from building simpler tombs for their pharaohs into something far more complex and challenging, something beyond their previous engineering capabilities? The story of THE DIVINE LIGHT is narrated through the written scrolls (the eyes) of Quom, scrolls the revengeful priests wish to destroy, for these scrolls hold truth and to them this truth must be silenced. A dangerous game ensures, a game against both the pyramid and its designer - a game which can only lead to possible murder! What is the secret of the divine light, the symbol of the pyramid for which these others would murder? THE DIVINE LIGHT is a prelude to the other books in THE GIZA TRILOGY and though a prelude, can still be read as a belated conclusion to these other books. In its pages, the reader will be transported to the very beginnings of the pyramid age, into a distant time when the mind could visualise the unimaginable and could construct the inconceivable, a time when mighty and all-powerful gods existed and god-king pharaohs ruled!

Autor

Paul Morrison, a retired museologist, has also been a writer for most of his life. "I cannot remember a time when I was not writing, even when I was five or six years old. I grew up with books such as TREASURE ISLAND, 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA and THE TIME MACHINE these and the many other books which I read in my early years fed my imagination, a voracious imagination transporting me to faraway places, other worlds and to other times in both the recent and the more distant past..." Many of these worlds and places are visited in the novels and short story collections he has written.

Besides a love of fiction, Paul also reads widely on ancient history and archaeology. "I am particularly interested in Ancient Egypt, mainly Old Kingdom Egypt during the age of the pyramid builders. I have always been intrigued as to how the pyramids were built and also about the lives of the pharaohs and the workers who constructed the pyramids. There were many questions filling my mind, but few if any answers." This inquiring interest led to the GIZA TRILOGY books, THE PHARAOH, THE SPHINX and THE THREE QUEENS, a monumental work of well-researched fiction set against the backdrop of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau. Together, with their associated books, THE DIVINE LIGHT, ETERNAL EGYPT (Supplement to the Giza Trilogy), and SECRET OF THE PYRAMID, these books total more than 1.3 million words! Other books written by Paul cover a wide range of subjects including historical fiction, science fiction, ghost and detective stories as well as many other genres.

Paul currently lives in Hobart, Tasmania with his wife in a house overlooking the Derwent River. "The magnificent views of Hobart and Mount Wellington inspire me in my writings but the most important inspiration is my wife, Helena."
