This is an auction for RAMSES: UNDER THE WESTERN ACACIA, by Christian Jacq.

Amazon.com review:

"Critics of the series need to remember this is a work of FICTION, not a history book. The fiction, however, covers the period of the rule of Seti, and then Ramses, who became Pharaoh. The books intertwine a story filled with intrigue, mystery, love, betrayal and war. I felt like I had traveled back in time, and was taking part in the daily living as an Egyptian. The books cover characters who are poor farmers, with descriptions of their clothing, food eaten, dwellings and customs while at the same time taking you into the inner workings of the elite, including Ramses himself. The reader is education on the mythology, religion and various gods of the period. This entire series will stay with me, and these books will be some of the few that don't leave my library."

"The series combines history, mythology, and some author's liberties with both, but the series is addictive to read. Just read it as fiction, and it's a fun and easy read. I read all 5 books within about one week."
