In ancient Egypt it was believed that so long as a Pharaoh’s name was spoken, he would continue to live. This was the basis of the funerary cults. The fact that we still speak their names, even thousands of years later, attests to the truth of that belief.
I fell in love with Tuthmosis during my studies and in writing this story, I am doing my part in keeping his memory alive.
That said, Alia and Tuthmosis’s story is a fiction and should be taken as such. I have created or amalgamated some characters, events and titles in order to make the story less complicated than the archaeology suggests.
I hope you will fall in love with Tuthmosis, too.
