THE TIKTOK SENSATION FROM THE UK HAS COME TO NORTH AMERICA!   PRE-ORDER NOW to get a limited edition with sprayed edges—available only on the first printing! This special first edition hardcover will include a gorgeous, shimmering jacket with effects, beautifully illustrated endpapers and sprayed edges.   “Magical, murderous, romantic romp through a fantasy world as colorful as it is captivating.” Thea Guanzon, New York Times bestselling author of THE HURRICANE WARS

A mind-blowing murder mystery on a ship full of magical passengers. If Agatha Christie wrote fantasy, this would be it!

For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this incredible feat, the emperor’s ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess’s Mountain. Aboard are the twelve heirs of the provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing.

All except one: Ganymedes Piscero—class clown, slacker and all-around disappointment.

When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people and without a Blessing to protect him, Ganymedes’s odds of survival are slim.

But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be. Can he unmask the killer and their secret Blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia?

Or will the empire as he knows it fall?

Review:

And Then There Were None meets a queer fantasy murder cruise with a splash of romance! In a world where heirs of provinces are gifted with powers known as "blessings" the heirs must embark on a twelve day voyage to the sacred Goddess's Mountains to maintain peace. Yet this year's heirs are different... one of the heirs does not have any ability. Ganymedes Piscero "Dee" to his friends, is the least liked heir and the disappointment amongst them, and he lied to the emperor about his powers. Yet things only get worse for Dee as the moment they get on the ship they were excited to meet their beloved, Ravi, heir to the Crow province only to be given the cold shoulder and to find that he is engaged to someone else. Dee is crushed... and then the heirs begin to be murdered one by one. Dee is determined to solve the mystery and save the heir to the Grasshopper province, a young girl. Dee finds himself being helped by the unlikely Wyatt, the sickly heir to the Bear province... yet is torn between his love for Ravi as well. Can Dee figure out who is the murderer before he is next... and when the truth comes out an he handle the repercussions of it? This was definitely an interesting ride that had a wild ending that just went from 0-100. The story had a slow build and the middle part definitely felt a bit dragged on but the ending picked up. Dee was an interesting character and the romance in this one was a bit twisted but I enjoyed it. It definitely had a "Death on the Nile" vibe (I adore Agatha Christie) and this was an enjoyable read in the end. It wraps up everything perfectly fine and overall, if you like fantasy murder mysteries then I'd absolutely recommend it!

Vía Luxor Nile cruise

Greeting from luxor Nile cruise Marsa Alam&HTS travel

The ancient representation of Nut, the sky goddess, can be traced back more than 3,000 years to the New Kingdom period of Egypt, approximately 1300 BCE. This artifact was discovered within the Temple of Hathor at Dendera and illustrates Nut extending across the Earth, effectively symbolizing the cyclical nature of night and day. The artwork provides insight into the profound connection the ancient Egyptians established between their mythology and celestial events, as evidenced by the notable similarity between Nut's depiction and the Milky Way, which remains observable in contemporary skies.

Edfu, Temple of Horus

September 24, 2024

We awoke this morning to sunrise on the Nile and relatively cool temps - mid 80s????  As soon as the sun comes up thought the heat begins in earnest.  We do not cruise at night but shortly after the sun is up the begin our journey again. Today’s destination is Edfu and the Temple of Horus.  We took a bus to the city and discovered this beautiful preserved temple.   Edfu, constructed over 180 years starting in 237 BCE, is so well preserved because it was completely filled in and covered with sand until its rediscovery in the 1860s by French archeologist Auguste Mariette. For two thousand years before construction this real estate was already a holy site for Horus worship.The only problem was that we were going at 11:00 - in the heat of the day.  Ayman asked us to trust him and we did.  When we got to the Temple - we were alone.  Just our group.  SWEET!!  There was also plenty of shade and Ayman told us a story, using our traveling partners in roles of the gods.

So here is the story: There were these beautiful sister goddesses Isis  (AKA Marla) and Nefti (AKA Nora)  They married wonderful brothers  Orisis  (AKA Keith) and Seth (AKA Tom).   Orisis is the King of all Egypt.  Orisis and Isis were good and kind but Seth was jealous.  

Sooooooo jealous!!  Finally he planned to kill Orisis and become the King himself.  Read on for details…

The Story of Osiris, Isis, Set, Nephthys and Horus

This R-rated story was fundamental to Egyptian mythology, symbolism and their lifestyle. It lays out the landscape of various ultra-important things to Egyptians, such as who rules the afterlife.

Who is Who

Osiris – Osiris, ruler of Egypt and descendant of the origin Gods, is god of agriculture, fertility, and the underworld. His role in the underworld is not a devil. He manages souls crossing the underworld to the next life. It Osiris who decides if a soul is worthy of crossing into the afterlife. Osiris is married to Isis.

Seth or Set – God of violence and chaos. Set is brother to Osiris – and a rival.

Isis – Goddess of magic, motherhood and healing. Wife of Osiris.

Horus – God of the sky, kingship, healing, protection. Son of Osiris and Isis.

Nephthys or Nephti– Goddess of mourning, protector of mummies, protection, the dead, and, oddly, beer. Sister of Isis. Wife of Set.

Ma’at – Goddess of balance, harmony, order, law, morality, truth, and seasonal and cosmic rhythms. Ma’at was also a set of 42 principles by which Egyptians lived their lives.

This story is said to be dated to at least 2,400 BCE. It was recounted by the Greeks and the Romans. I will say this! To come up with this kind of stuff, they must have had time on their hands. And lots of ancient Egyptian beer. So, here goes...

Set is jealous of Osiris, the highest god. He wants to get rid of him and take his throne. So, he hatches a plan. He has a party, invites many of his friends and relatives. He builds a lockable box in the exact dimensions of Osiris. Once the party turns lively, he brings out the box and challenges everyone to see if they can fit inside. Everyone tries and nobody fits, but the last to try is Osiris, and he fits exactly – so tightly that the only way he can fit is by crossing his arms. Once inside, Set locks the box! With Osiris inside, Set manages to throw the box into the Nile, and it drifts away. Osiris drowns. And ever since, Egyptians had themselves put into sarcophaguses with their arms crossed, because this was the right way to the underworld. Set takes the throne.

With Set “in charge,” the morality, balance and peace of Maat is upended. Chaos ensues. Civil unrest erupts. The Nile floods at the wrong times. Celestial movements are off kilter. The once predictable seasons are off. Egyptians steal from and lie to each other.

Osiris is terribly grieved and recruits sister Nephthys in a search to find the body of Osiris. Legend has it that they turned into falcons, scanned everywhere, and found it (in parts) many miles upriver. They mummified him and set about various incantations to bring him back to life.   The found all his parts except one - his penis.  Set had thrown his penis into the Nile where lots of fish had eaten it.  Many Egyptians do to eat fish - for that reason.  STILL!!!  So Isis makes a penis. Orisis does come back to life and Isis has sex with the resurrected Osiris, becoming pregnant with Horus. Osiris, however, isn’t interested in the living world anymore, and decides to become ruler of the underworld.

Pregnant Isis knows her progeny would be a threat to Set. So she hides herself in a marshy area on the Nile full of papyrus. There, after months, she gives birth to Horus. The early life of Horus was full of challenges, some versions say poison by snakebites. Isis is said to travel amongst ordinary humans in search of treatments. Many of these turned into magical spells.

As an adult, Horus challenges Set for the throne. An 80-year long, often violent, contest ensues. In most conflicts Horus wins. But the “judges,” other gods, often are favored of Set. Set is tired of Horus’ harassment and turns himself into a hippo (I’m not making this up!).  But Horus is all seeing and he flies around until he finds him and another battle ensues.  During an attack, Set snatches Horus’ eye.

Well, Isis the healer once again comes to rescue and puts everything back together. With Horus restored, Set is finally defeated, Horus becomes ruler of Egypt, and all the gods and goddesses celebrate.

With Horus on the throne, Maat is restored. The moon returns to full brightness. Egyptians live peacefully. Seasons once again become dependable. The stars and constellations are once again recognizable.

Horus’ eye is seen everywhere in the inscriptions on temples and tombs.  Eye of Horus synonymous with healing, morphed into the symbol for prescription, Rx.

This story is one of those told over and over again through generations.  Replace these names with Mufassa, Scar and Simba and the story is the same - but less penis, allowing Lion King to be rated G.

So today at a time selected by Ayman to have the least amount of those pesky tourists - we visited the Temple of Horus.  Here is a great pic of Isis and her son - Horus.

Truly this place was another fabulous experience.  Although we cannot read the hieroglyphics everything in these temples and tombs are telling stories.  The entire store I just told you is found in this tomb - over and over again. The multi-level building is even built as a tribute to Horus.  The drawn creatures (god or man) face right and lead you to the spiral stairs  through the second level but the staircase down is straight.  Why?  The falcon flies up and up in great looping circles - then sail back to earth in a straight line.  Those ancient Egyptians thought of everything!!

Now I have gone over my photos from this temple until I can look no at them.  I KNOW I took a picture of Iris and the mummy Orisis - but I can’t find it.  Hello Internet.

Whenever you see Orisis his legs are wrapped and he is standing on a block - just a little higher than the common man.

The other thing that was amazing is that in the courtyard each of the pillars were different but identical to the pillar across from it.  It is hard to see - so you will just have to trust me.

After we got back to the boat - following a fabulous lunch some of us boarded our tug boat and took a little cruise around the boat.  

Mark took pics of us and we took pics of Mark and Ayman.  My favorite is this…

Following this little adventure we docked in a private area and had a wonderful meal and lots of fun.  There exists a video with me dancing somewhere - but the one I’m posting I’m taking.

Enjoy.  Life on this boat on the Nile is SWEET!!!

Stay tuned

Dam-Nation

Our last day at Aswan had us waking at a more reasonable hour than the day before. It was a good thing too as I’d embarrassed myself the night before when I was called up to dance when our cruise ship hosted a Nubian performance. And if you’re asking for proof, you won’t get it. I know not to reveal my true face on the internet! 

Popo, by now, was terribly tired. I, on the other hand, was still full of vim and vigour. So, while she stayed aboard the Jaz Celebrity, I disembarked with a few other members of the tour group.

Our first stop was the High Dam. It should be noted that the High Dam was the second attempt to utilise the mighty Nile waters to bring benefits to the Egyptian people. Constructed in the years between 1960-1970, it saw Lake Nasser flood, threatening 40 temples in the area, including Abu Simbel. With the help of UNESCO, the Egyptian government was able to save the most important temples although some were taken overseas to other European countries. Only a few remained in Egypt including our next destination: Philae Temple.

The flooding of Lake Nasser also saw the relocation of the Nubians to their current location further north of the Nile and near Aswan, changing their lifestyles from living off the land through farming to becoming fishermen and relying on tourism for their livelihood. Which, as per my previous post, meant entertaining strangers in t heir houses and sharing the space with pet crocodiles!

Of course, constructing the dam also had its benefits. The first dam built atop the Nile in Aswan had been at the behest of the English and the French. When Egypt threw off the yoke of their previous ‘benefactors’ in the Suez Crisis, they sought the assistance of the World Bank and the USSR to help build a new power plant near the High Dam. This enabled Egypt to transform its economy and provide it with independence from other countries.

Our second stop for the morning was a visit to Philae Temple, which was dedicated to the Goddess Isis. It also featured the most recent use of hieroglyphs with dating devices putting in the tiny wall scribble at about 350AD. It might not have been a very good engraving but it still showed that the language of the Ancient Egyptians was still being used when the country was under Roman Rule.

Philae Temple, it should be noted, seems to have mostly been constructed during the Greek occupation of the country. The Grecian-style to the columns was very distinctive to my well-trained eye, although not all had been completed. Another indication that it was built during the Greek era of Egypt’s history was the presence of a ‘birthing’ house, which was meant to illustrate how the Ancient Greek leaders were transformed into Egyptians in order to make their rule of the country more palatable to the common folk.

And although I wasn’t able to take a long look at it, I did note that on the map layout of the Temple, there was even a small dedication to the very first Roman emperor, and the focus of one of my Ancient History projects: Augustus.

Once we had finished touring the temple in the allotted time we were given, it was back on the motor boat and the coach as we headed back to the cruise ship to collect our luggage and head to El Dokku, a Nubian restaurant, for lunch. The novelty here was that the restaurant was on a small island that was only reachable by boat!

After lunch, we headed to the airport with only moments to spare in order to check in and board. Upon landing once more in Cairo, we visited the Khan El-Khalili bazaar where, instead of wandering the stalls and being the target of wily thieves, I simply sat at a local cafe and enjoyed a mango smoothie. Later, people would claim that the mango smoothie was the source of the diarrhoea that struck down quite a few of the tour group but let it be known that I was unaffected.

Then it was back on the coach for a very late dinner at a restaurant near the pyramids. By the time we reached our hotel, St Regis Almasa, it was 11PM.

But it was better this than another hurried visit to the Papyrus and Essential Oils store - something that held zero appeal to me and felt like an attempt to shove in some sponsored shopping (something I very much detested in my cheap Chinese Europe trip back in 2009 with my mother).

And so ended our stay in Egypt. We might not have ticked off everything on our travel itinerary but we got to see most of it. 

Turkey (or Turkiye), here we come!

Ancient Wonders of Aswan

Aswan, often referred to as the "golden city," is a captivating destination in Upper Egypt, just south of Luxor. This enchanting city offers a blend of ancient history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture.

A visit to Aswan is incomplete without exploring its iconic historical monuments, which attract travellers from around the globe. One of the most memorable experiences is embarking on a Nile cruise, providing a serene and intimate view of the region's natural beauty and historical significance.

Let's delve deeper into some of Aswan's remarkable ancient wonders...

Philae Island

Philae Island, a serene oasis in the heart of the Nile, is a must-visit destination for any traveller exploring Aswan. Philae is renowned for its breathtaking temple complex and provides insights into ancient Egypt's rich history and mythology.

Originally built to honour the goddess Isis, the temple's intricate carvings and towering structures demonstrate the ancient Egyptians' architectural prowess. Visitors can wander through the temple's halls, marvel at the preserved hieroglyphs, and learn about the fascinating stories of the pharaohs and their deities.

A visit to Philae Island is a historical journey and a peaceful retreat. Surrounded by beautiful foliage and the gentle flow of the Nile, it's the perfect place to relax and soak up the tranquillity of this ancient land.

The Unfinished Obelisk

The Unfinished Obelisk, a colossal stone pillar, stands as a testament to the ancient Egyptians' ambition and engineering prowess. Located in the Aswan quarries, this massive edifice was designed to be the largest obelisk ever erected, but its construction was abruptly halted.

Originating during Queen Hatshepsut's rule, a powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom, the obelisk remains unfinished, offering a unique glimpse into the ancient Egyptians' quarrying and sculpting techniques. Its sheer size and the visible marks of the stonecutters provide a connection to the craftsmen who labored to create this monumental masterpiece.

Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply appreciate the beauty of ancient artifacts, the Unfinished Obelisk is a must-see attraction in Aswan.

The Aswan High Dam

The Aswan High Dam, located on the Nile River in southern Egypt, is an impressive feat of engineering. Constructed during the 1950s under the leadership of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the dam serves an important role in managing the flow of the Nile and mitigating the impact of seasonal flooding. Additionally, the Aswan High Dam is a key source of hydroelectric power, contributing significantly to Egypt’s electricity supply. This landmark is not only vital for Egypt’s infrastructure but also offers visitors a glimpse into the country’s modern achievements.

 It is one of the most awaited places on my travel list, applying for an online visa for Egypt made visiting this historic country a cakewalk. I could still explore iconic sites in Egypt, including the Pyramids of Giza and the Nile River, via this streamlined process. After a speedy approval, I am now geared up to learn about culture, history and the beauty that Egypt has to offer.

The Abu Simbel Temples

The Two Temples of Abu Simbel are a unique archaeological site situated on the west shore of Lake Nasser, about 290 km southwest of Aswan. A portion of the Nubian Monuments UNESCO World Heritage Site, these temples are carved into massive rock formations. The larger temple is dedicated to King Ramses II, showcasing his great victories, including the famous Battle of Kadesh. The smaller temple honors his wife, Queen Nefertari. 

History enthusiasts flock to Abu Simbel to explore the grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization. The best time to visit is during the Sun Festival, held on February 22nd and October 22nd, marking Ramses II’s ascension to the throne and his birthday, respectively. This awe-inspiring site is a must-visit destination in Egypt for 2024.

The Elephantine Island

Elephantine Island is a historical and charming place. In ancient times, this island — which sits in the middle of the Nile — was an important trading post. Visitors can wander among its ancient ruins, including the Temple of Khnum, the god of creation, and an intriguing Nilometer used to measure the river’s water levels. We will explore the ancient Jewish temple & small artifacts that depict the multicultural heritage of the island where Egyptian, Nubian & Jewish influences are mixed.

With its verdant scenery and tranquil atmosphere, the island is an ideal place to unwind and explore. Winding along its trails, visitors can take in stunning views of the Nile and discover its rich history. In addition, Elephantine Island is a beautiful place to appreciate a true Nubian village, where travelers can experience Nubian hospitality, art, and food. Exploring this magical isle immerses, but also calms.

The Nubian Museum

The Nubian Museum- where Nubian heritage comes alive For its good share in the world of culture, you can't miss visiting the Nubian Museum if you are into Nubian culture. This award-winning museum boasts a stunning collection of artifacts narrating to visitors Nubia’s ancient history and its role in Egyptian civilization. There are pottery, jewelry, sculptures and textiles that showcase the ingenuity and creativity of the Nubian civilization. The museum provides detailed insights into the history of Nubia, its kings, and the Nubians’ interactions with ancient Egypt.

The Nubian Museum offers more than just artifacts; it provides a chance to experience something of Nubian culture. It was here in this beautiful place that I had my first experience of a truly meaningful rest — a retreat, personally curated. Outdoor exhibits, including a replica Nubian house and sculptures, relish views of Aswan. The museum also features educational programs and guided tours, adding depth to the visit and establishing the museum as a cultural and historical jewel in Aswan.

And the Egypt trip package just started. Every moment was a memory, and visiting the pyramid and cruising the Nile is something you will never forget. With carefully сurated itineraries that covered all the iconic sites from Luxor to Aswan to Cairo, the seductiveness of culture, rest, and all the excitement that one imagines when they think of traveling in this iconic destination. The unforgettable journey, guided and well accommodated, far surpassed every expectation, and I will always cherish these memories of an incredible place.

Happy travels and safe adventures! 🌍✈️
