O, to Be Pharoah
RG has a story about how the ancient Egyptians made the sun... rise. Please go read Early Morning at the Temple of Amun-Ra.
Reminds me of some amazing passages in Norman Mailer's novel about Egypt called Ancient Evenings. There is lovemaking in it that rivals anything I have read anywhere. And there is generally a sensuality about the book that I liked and have rarely encountered since. It's the only Norman Mailer I have read, as I have tended toward genre-fiction like sci-fi, but I have been fascinated with ancient civilizations for as long as I can remember. I couldn't pass it up—and that was before I knew there would be great sex in it!
