Copyright © 2022 Horus Michael All Rights Reserved.
You are a character within a story that has multiple possible outcomes. Your decisions will lead to other adventures, or end abruptly. This is a story about living in Ancient Egypt, but you don’t need to be an Egyptologist to comprehend everything.
Excerpt:
Thousands of years ago, you lived in a land called Kemtawy (The Dark Lands of the Two States). The life-giving Nile River would flood each year, offering fertile black mud along the riverbanks, ready to farm. Through a system of irrigation and cultivation, Kemtawy produced grain and other crops for the people. The produce was stored in large ceramic containers called Granaries, which existed in Temples, Farms, and Palaces. The Temples contained libraries, schools, theaters, Court rooms, and offices as multipurpose buildings.
You were recently admitted to the Temple after your fifth birthday, on advice from your parents. One of your best friends is Nakht, a son of a Scribe. He recommends the Scribe education, but there are still others to choose from.

The five listed occupations are displayed on a stone stele, written in Hieratic Script:
First: Lector Priest, or reader of the holy books. They are usually well-paid.
Second: Scribe, or copyist, a general occupation for the Middle Class.
Third: Soldier, a Military occupation. The pay is meager, unless you find loot in enemy lands.
Fourth: Artisan, a craftsman. Pay is adequate.
Fifth: A Farmer; usually paid in bread and beer.
