~ All hail the arrival of the Golden Phoenix ~
The Golden Phoenix, upon reaching Egypt, will find itself going on an adventure through time. The Two Lands,
richly nourished by the life-sustaining Nile, boasts of a history measured in millenia.
Our first destination is Alexandria, during the reign of Cleopatra VII. We will meet with the noble Cleopatra, discover her history as well as that of
the city of Alexandria, and gain the opportunity to visit a spa and beauty boutique, to learn the ancient yet timeless
Egyptian beauty secrets!
Next: Memphis/Giza/Saqqara, Dynasty IV, during the reign of Khufu, pyramid-builder. Here we will meet
the perhaps-despotic Pharaoh himself, as well as engage in a pyramid-climbing contest. At the top of the pyramid is the entryway into a maze, at the end of
which will be an award.
Forward in time by several dynasties, we arrive in Amarna, during the reign of Ahkenaten, the pharaoh who, however briefly,
challenged and changed the religious establishment. Despite the desert locale,
we've ported in on donkey sizeable quantities of water. A Wet T-unic Contest will thus be the recreational focus.
Finally, we arrive in Waset, known to the Classical world as Thebes, during the reign of Pharaoh Hatshepsut. We will meet this
remarkable woman, as well as partake of a hearty Egyptian feast in honor of Osiris.
