have followed Amenhotep the Wise, was Horemheb; and therefore deleted all references to all of them.
I don’t think, as some writers have suggested, that Horemheb was a miser who robbed all the Amarna tombs for gold and who only missed Tutankhamen’s tomb because he couldn’t find it. He was at the funeral; he knew where it was. He merely pillaged the tombs of the pillagers; and since he spent most of his reign attempting to mend the damage they did to Egypt, one can see his point.
Ptah-hotep
The scribe was actually called Amenhopis but, for story I had to tell, I decided this would cause too many identification problems as I already had two Amenhoteps.
Ptah-hotep died at an advanced age and in honour. His tomb paintings—which rather stress Thoth god of scribes and the making and drinking of wine—also include a hut by the river with a dog on guard, and two men making love in the reeds.
***
The amount of research which this book entailed was much heavier than I expected, due to the aforementioned state of Egyptology.
I was surprised by the change in my attitude to the Egyptians. I began by thinking that they worshipped death, and ended by realising that they worshipped life.
