Synopsis
It is Egypt, circa 1100 BCE- trouble comes to the highest spheres of power in this most ancient of governments. Pharaoh's rule has been usurped by Egypt's priesthood, the kingdom's nobility has fallen on hard times, the justice system is broken, while the masses live in abject poverty and are ripe for revolt. Twenty-two-year-old Crown Prince Ramses is a man of action and of conflicting traits. Charismatic, bold, and stubborn, but also reasonable and possessing a deep sense of fair play, he sets into motion policies to avert a coming crisis. But he comes up against the High Council of Archpriests who act to thwart the prince's efforts. The nation, army, government officials, and even many of the younger priests all stand behind the young ruler. The council has only their wealth, about a thousand allies, a handful of military regiments, and an unusually smart organizing capability. As uneven as these odds are, the outcome is far from certain, and especially when Egypt's gods choose sides. The consequent power struggle threatens the ancient nation with the collapse of the social order. The Throne of Osiris is a historical saga of intrigue and subterfuge-an epic tale of crisis in government and the struggle for dominion. This classical tragedy studies the mechanics of power and provides a psychological exploration into how the young attempt to make societal corrections. Along with a rich depiction of life at every level of ancient Egyptian society - its structure, religion, architecture, and traditions - this tale reminds us that our present world is not free from the past and that vestiges of ancient civilizations live on., It is Egypt, circa 1100 BCE- trouble comes to the highest spheres of power in this most ancient of governments. Pharaoh's rule has been usurped by Egypt's priesthood, the kingdom's nobility has fallen on hard times, the justice system is bro..., Egypt 1100 BCE - disease and old age have weakened Pharaoh's grip on power. Egypt's Council of Archpriests seeks to supplant him. But their pride and heavy-handedness have plunged the kingdom into dire straits. In order to avert a crisis twenty-two year old Crown Prince Ramses issues directives that will ease the suffering of his people and gain much needed funding for his own future reign. The priests however thwart his efforts. Conflict erupts. While the high priests have but a few allies and the wealth of the temples as well as an unusually smart organizing capability, a great majority of the people, the police, the army, and even many of the subordinate priests all side with the young fair-minded ruler. Uneven as these odds are the outcome is far from certain, and the consequent power struggle threatens the kingdom and the ancient world with the collapse of the social order. The Throne of Osiris is a historical saga of intrigue and subterfuge, an epic account of crisis in government and the struggle for dominance. This classic tale serves up a lavish depiction of life in ancient Egypt, the structure of its society, its religious beliefs, and traditions. With numerous parallels to today's world it is a study in the raw mechanisms of power and explores the attempts of the young to govern and to right society's wrongs.

- c***t (921)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
