We feel truly blessed to have shared the incredible journey of writing this book together. From the very beginning, this project has been a labor of love for us, inspired by the most extraordinary woman in our lives, our beloved mother.

 Over the years, we came to think of our mother as the greatest storyteller of all time. As children, we would gather around her, completely captivated by the mesmerizing tales of ancient Egypt she brought to life.

 Our mother’s voice carried the magic of the pharaohs, the secrets of the pyramids, and the whispers of a time long past. Today, she shares her old stories with our children, filling them with the same sense of interest and curiosity that once captivated us.

A devoted Egyptologist, our mother has dedicated her life to sharing the wonders of Egypt with others. She has been a pioneer, opening doors to a world of history and magic for so many.

 Some of our most treasured memories with our mother are visiting the pyramids and listening to her bring history to life at the Egyptian Museum. Those moments sparked a deep love for our heritage that still lives within us. Now that we live far from Egypt, we see that same magic come alive in our children when they hear her stories. Their wonder and excitement inspired us to write this book and share those untold tales with the world.

 These are not the common stories found in most mythology books. They’ve been passed down by someone who has truly lived and breathed Egypt’s history. Through her lens as an Egyptologist, our mother infused each tale with rich details, personal insight, and imagination, inviting readers to immerse themselves in these mystical yet authentic legends.

 If the magic of ancient Egypt has ever whispered to your imagination, and you’ve dreamed of wandering through its grand temples or walking in the footsteps of the pharaohs, we invite you to enjoy this journey with us.
