Ankhesenamun, Queen of Egypt

Authored by Michael J. Costa (C) 1992.

This historical-fiction novel written in 1992 chronicles the lives of late 18th Dynasty Egypt, those of Tutankhamun and his wife, Queen Ankhesenamun.

An Excerpt:

Commander Horemhab sat anxiously and impatiently on the floor of his chariot, waiting for an answer. The royal troops had aligned the entrance of the Nubian camp and several scouts were patrolling in and out of the enemy head-quarters, looking for their leader. A single chariot of Nubian craftsmanship, originally stolen from Egyptian garrisons and modified to meet their standards, shifted the desert sands behind it as the chariot entered through an unprotected gap in the Egyptian wall of horses. A proud announcement saluted the commander from afar, and this caused him to rise from his seat. It was Tutankhamon. Excited, Horemhab shouted to the sky in adoration of the god Horus, relieved that his prayers had been answered. Horemhab exalted his comrades over the news. Ay was the first to respond.
"It couldn't be him; that charioteer looks nothing like Tutankhamon." Tut removed his wig and Ay looked closer.
"Oh my god."

Welcome to my blog.

I am an Author, Archaeologist (B.A. in Archaeology & Biological Anthropology, '99), Egyptian Afterlife Priest (Kheri-Heb) & a Pharaoh of Duat, visual artist, Micronationalist, and computer game modifier. I have written over 137+ books so far. My books are my paper monuments. I hope you enjoy them. I also made computer game "Mods"(over 300) for the computer game, The Elder Scrolls-V: Skyrim, on Steam Workshop/Nexus Mods (2012-2021), some with multiple star ratings.

I believe in reincarnation to comprehend future actions as based on past life actions, and direction in one's life. I believe my past life visits to Egypt influence and inspire me with their culture. My first publisher (1992) was a Psychologist at CSU Hayward/East Bay in California; she believed my fictional first novel was about real information, as did the US Government and NSA/CIA. When she published it she sold some $50M in as yet unpaid royalties, and when I alerted the Govt. about this, they confiscated it from her and paid me nothing, then asked a terror group (AQ) if "any American knew of their plans for global conquest" and started harassing Iran about their "Nuclear weapons" issues (Chapter 20-21). I researched Ancient Egypt prior to writing Eye of the Pharaoh (c.1990, 1995), I had read about 12 non-fiction books for that project. Content appears in the film, The Mummy Returns. The publisher died in 2020 from brain Cancer.

I self-publish now because I cannot trust people, plus I can control the books better with regard to design, availability and royalties. Follow me on Twitter: @HorusMichaelM7.
