Towering, gold-encrusted monuments break the unending
monotony of a horizon formed of sun-blasted
sand. Awe-inspiring, animal-headed gods walk among
the people, offering them care and protection from the
horrors of the desert. A wide, life-giving river offers its
abundant bounty, providing for every physical need.
Happy, hopeful people offer sacrifices in grand temples
dedicated to their benevolent gods, addressing
their spiritual needs. For they know that this life, as
wonderful as it might be, is just the beginning—a prelude
to the perfection that awaits them in the afterlife,
promised to them by their God-Pharaoh.
