The Sleeper in the Sands - by Tom Holland


I was recently reading a really interesting fictional book entitled 'THE SLEEPER IN THE SANDS' by TOM HOLLAND, I would definately recommend this book to anyone interested in ancient Egypt as I thoroughly enjoyed it. The different chapters tell of different tales that all accumilate to the one unique ending, based on fact myth and mystery this book is really a whirwind read of the desert and a suggestion of the origins of Akhenaten, the most unusual and enigmatic pharoah to ever appear in Ancient Egypt, what were his true origins? this fictional work supplies us with a strange but believable story.

'In the depths of ages and the antiquity of time, there was much which was known and now lies hidden, and many great wonders long forgotten, for the past is a desert filled with infinate buried things. Do not think that because you have never heard of a tale before that it did not happen, for even in the lives of the Prophets there were deeds and events which were never recorded, and have long since been lost to the memory of this world'.

WONDERFUL STUFF!!!!
