In mythology, Ra Egypt’s sun god, hurled an execration upon a rebellious humankind and, in a hot rage, despatched the scorching Eye of Ra, a holocaust sun in the form of the goddess Sekhmet, to destroy them. A marauding lioness, her breath spread pestilence and plague and her claws and teeth death as she swept through Egypt in an orgy of killing. Then Ra had second thoughts and halted her apocalypse.
But the execration had been uttered and it was always feared that the inherently unstable agent of destruction — the Female Soul With Two Faces — would one day return to finish off what she had started, cleansing the earth.
Can a renegade Egyptologist stop an ancient Egyptian apocalypse of plague, pestilence and global scorching?
