Where Nile Birds Fly

Set during the Golden Age of Egyptology, Where Nile Birds Fly is a meticulously researched epic based on the true 1929 expedition to Egypt by the Rosicrucians - a secretive, Masonic-like order devoted to ancient mysticism. While the world hunts for Howard Carter's gold, seventy-five pilgrims journey down the Nile to reclaim the lost esoteric wisdom of the pharoahs through clandestine initiations inside the Great Pyramid. Among them are William Ford, a scarred WWI veteran seeking the ancient origins of a trauma-induced psychic anomaly, and Samantha Kelly, a scholar tracing mystical threads between the Indus Valley and the Nile. Perfect for lovers of Egyptology, this novel blends history, monument exploration, and the lost ceremonial mysteries of antiquity.
