Description

Ancient Egypt. Pharaoh Ramses III ascends the throne. He has three wives Isis, Tyti and Tije. Isis and Tyti belong to the royal family. Tije is the daughter of a court dignitary. Tije is the mother of Pentaweret, the pharaoh's firstborn. However, the Pharaoh appoints his son, born of Queen Tyti, as his successor. In addition, he alienates his third wife and moves her to the Northern Palace, intended for senior concubines. Tije conspires with the High Priest of the temple of the goddess Meretseger to overthrow Ramses III and place her son Pentaweret on the throne. The High Priest keeps an ancient papyrus in the secret vault of the temple, according to which Tije is the heiress of the ancient gods. Tije and the High Priest win over the Dark Gods to their side. According to their plan, Ramses III must die from the curse. However, Nekhbet and Wadjet, the vulture goddess and the cobra goddess, are called upon to protect the pharaoh and his power. But Tije and the High Priest do not give up, they find new helpers and followers. The Palace of the Dazzling Aten, the home of the pharaoh's family, becomes the center of intrigue, black magic, betrayal and hypocrisy.
"...While the harpist delighted the ears of the court nobility and the family of the deceased pharaoh, Tije approached Amenmes. Their eyes met. And each of them read in the gaze of his partner a violent love passion. Tije separated from the crowd of courtiers and went down the valley, where the burials of the pharaohs had begun in ancient times.
Some ancient tombs were opened by robbers. Amenmes understood Tije's proposal and was full of strength and sexual desire. They retired to the tomb of the pharaoh, who lived more than a thousand years ago. At the entrance was his cartouche with the name: Wahankh Intef II. Tije tried to remember at least something about him. But she couldn't do that. Also in front of the entrance to the tomb was a stele with the inscription:
"I have come to the sacred valley. I have conquered all the lands of the Tjenu nome. I have crushed all the fortresses of the Tjenu nome. I made Tjenu the gate of my kingdom and the border of the North... I extended my northern border to the nome of Wadjet..."
The love passion that the widow of the pharaoh and his Fearless Charioteer indulged in in the corridor of the ancient tomb was comparable only to a natural disaster. When the lovers had had their fill of each other, they collapsed helplessly onto the stone floor of the corridor.
"For a grieving widow, you have too flourishing appearance, a lot of strength and sexual desire," Amenmes said jokingly.
"I'm ready to make love to you every day. Now I am completely free. And no one in the palace gives a damn about the behavior of the third widow of the pharaoh. All eyes will be on Isis and Tyti. After all, Titi is the mother of the young pharaoh Ramses IV. I each pray to the Dark Gods that he does not return from Ta-Netjer. His military expedition dragged on. It's been seven months since the ships with the warriors left Gebtu. I really hope that his body was eaten by hyenas."
"You were able to find a common language with the Dark Gods. Not everyone succeeds. And the Dark Gods listened to you. They delivered us from Ramses III. Why don't the Dark Gods deliver us from his son Ramses IV?"
"Yes, I propitiated the Dark Gods and they helped me. But I don't know what's next. I don't know if the Dark Gods will heed my future prayers. Will they help me?" Tije replied.
"We need to get back. Be careful…" Amenmes drew Tije to him and kissed her passionately on the lips. "Get out first and go to the crowd of courtiers. I will come a little later."
Tije put her clothes in order. She picked up from the stone floor the hoop with the royal uraeus, which fell from her head during a love passion with Amenmes. She put a hoop on her head and straightened her hair. She has always taken great care of her hair. Therefore, her hair looked shi...
