These towering cultures have been etched into our collective memory—and rightly so. But history is far deeper and more intricate than its greatest hits.

This is an initiation into the tone, structure, and mentality of Egyptian knowledge, the basis of all Western theology and science. It is a redefinition of those concepts which are basic to the pharaonic transmission—the glory of ancient Egypt.

The Muslim world was stunned, and the caliphs nurtured a smouldering desire for revenge.
