This is the new book I'm reading about Ancient Egypt:
Cat of Bubastes by G.A. Henty
Chapter One:
Amuba: The King's son and the main character of the book. Blue eyes, light hair, fair and slender, kind.
Jethro: Beard, blue eyes.
Place: In the city of Rebu, near Egypt.
Time Period: In ancient times, when there was a Pharoah in Egypt. Probably Middle Kingdom.
Amuba and Jethro are going out to battle. And they have chosen a swampy place. After a ton of fighting and a lot advice from his father, they lose the battle and go back to the city. The king dies.
Chapter Two:
They are in the city of Rebu, and there is a ton of work going on. As Amuba's mother has put aside her great sorrow, for the king had died in battle, and now has a ton of work going on and on and the men are up their watching the Egyptians approach. The Egyptians at last get there and build little shelters at the foot of the city wall. Now, this was not easy to do because there was a huge rock in the way and the only ways into the city (ramparts) had been pulled up by the people of Rebu.
