NEW RELEASE & SPECIAL OFFER!

An Assassin, the Son of a God, and an Epic Journey into the Unknown…

Would you kill a god to save your family?

On the fringes of the great necropolis of Saqqara, Hanbal, son of Akil, has always lived a life of peace and plenty on his family’s horse farm. That is, until the hordes of King Darius’ Persian army arrive and the people of Egypt find themselves persecuted and enslaved, and their ancient gods disrespected.

When Hanbal’s family and fortune are destroyed by the invaders, he takes up the mantle of an assassin, one who fights from the shadows for the people of Egypt.

Then, one day, hope springs out of the west at the coming of Alexander of Macedon and his army. The land of Egypt is liberated and the people welcome their new pharaoh with open arms.

That hope, however, turns to bitter disappointment for Hanbal the day that two Athenian spies appear at his door with an ultimatum…

He must kill Alexander of Macedon or else lose his wife and children to pain and death.

Can Hanbal save his family? Can he bring himself to kill the king who has liberated his homeland? Or will he be swept away in a river of blood to the ends of the Earth?

Only the Gods know…

The Asp of Saqqara is the beginning of a first-hand account of one of the most exciting periods in ancient history: the campaigns of Alexander the Great.

Read this ancient memoir of family, love, war, and hate for an intimate look at the world of the greatest leader in history.

To kill evil is easy… To kill hope is not…

We love visiting this amazing Mycenaean bridge on the road from Epidaurus to Naufplio.

Has anyone else stopped to see it?

What did you think?

A 3,300-year-old bridge in Greece is still in use today. The bridge was built between 1300 and 1190 BC, making it one of the oldest arch bridges still in use. 🤯

Beautiful recreation of Delphi…

Beautiful recreation of Delphi…

Step back in time to the heart of ancient Greece and marvel at the timeless splendor of the theater at Delphi. Constructed in the 4th century BC, this architectural masterpiece is carved into the slopes of Mount Parnassus, offering breathtaking views of the sacred olive groves of the valley below. Featuring 35 rows of stone seats, the theater could host an audience of approximately 5,000, providing an unparalleled setting for theatrical performances, poetry recitals, and musical events that celebrated the rich cultural traditions of the ancient world. During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, enhancements such as additional lower seating tiers were introduced, further elevating the experience for spectators. Today, the theater stands as a testament to the artistic and spiritual significance of Delphi, a site revered as the center of the ancient world.

A golden Septimius Severus…

The Golden Bust of Emperor Septimius Severus (AD 193–211)

A treasure of ancient history! This extraordinary golden bust was discovered in 1965 in Plotinopolis, near modern-day Didymoteicho, Greece. Made of 23-karat gold, it stands 28.4 cm tall and weighs around 980 grams, showcasing the incredible craftsmanship of the Roman era.

What makes it even more unique? It’s one of only two surviving Roman-era golden busts in the world! The other is located in Switzerland but isn’t accessible to the public.

Today, this masterpiece is proudly displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Komotini, Greece, where it continues to captivate visitors. A true marvel of history!

Timeless…

A timeless scene from 1907: A herd of sheep grazes peacefully while two men stand nearby, with the majestic Parthenon gracing the distance. This captivating moment, captured by the American Stereoscopic Company, beautifully combines natural tranquility and historic grandeur.
