Talk:Winged Pharaoh

Author's note
The Authors Note (reproduced):

The Ancient Egyptians gave many names to their land. In this story of the time of the First Dynasty, it is called 'Kam' and also 'The Two Lands'; Sumer, the land of the forerunners of the Babylonians, is called 'Zuma'; and Crete, the center of the Minoan civilisation is called 'Minoas'. Except for the city of Me'n-atetiss', which is Memphis, Egypt, near Cairo, the locality of all sites is shown clearly enough for the purposes of the story. 'Abidwa' is the modern Abydos, and the 'Amphitheatre of Grain' is now the site of 'Tell el Amarna. 'The Narrow Land' is Sinai, and 'the Narrow Sea' is the Red Sea. There is no standard system for the spelling of Egyptian words and names; in my spelling the 'a' is pronounced long, as in 'calm'.

The emblems of Upper Egypt, 'The South', were the Lotus and the Reed; its crown, the White crown. The Red crown was of 'The North', whose emblems were the Papyrus and the Bee.

Though horses are introduced into this story, I am aware that no record has so far been found of the horse in Egypt prior to the XVIIth Dynasty.
