The Egyptian Crocodile Queen... in the Egyptian Mythology Murders series (*****5 Stars. On Amazon)
In
the unnerving footsteps of THE EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY MURDERS and THE OBELISK
PROPHECY...
When a new blockbuster ancient
Egyptian exhibition arrives, mysterious events and a string of killings soon follow.
The
investigative team of Jennefer, a curator, and Jon a police antiquities
detective, must track down the shocking truth in a hidden underworld beneath
the city - and discover a shocking secret from ancient Egypt, linked to a
modern day conspiracy that takes its impetus from the ancient past.
About
Sobekneferu, the Crocodile Queen – ancient Egypt’s ‘Mother
of Dragons’
Sobekneferu
was a 12th Dynasty queen who worshipped the crocodile-headed god Sobek. Her
name means ‘the beauty of Sobek’ and she rose to become Egypt’s first attested
female pharaoh.
In
an astonishing twist of history, though she is little known today, the
influence of this one shadowy queen, out of all of Egypt’s many illustrious
queens, has lived on through the royal houses of Europe in the form of an
esoteric society, Societas Draconis. Sobekneferu is revered as Queen of The
Dragon (Sacred Crocodile) Court, whose mystical rituals are still practiced to
this day.
Some
historians have also identified Sobekneferu as the adoptive mother of Moses.
When Hebrew mothers wanted to spare their newborn males from pharaoh’s edict
and the blades of his executioners, they turned to Mother Nile in their hour of
desperation, just as Egyptian mothers of unwanted babies had done before. They
set their babies loose on the river in baskets of reeds daubed with pitch to
find their fate.
Many
babies were taken by crocodiles.
One
of them may have been taken by the Crocodile Queen-to-be, Princess Sobekneferu,
who drew him from the reeds and named him Moses and brought him up as her son
and a prince of the crocodile court.

They
moved in a slow motion dance, bearing precious gifts from ancient Egypt.
Cranes,
stackers and palette trucks shifted hundreds of artefacts in orange crates into
place in the British Museum’s Sainsbury Exhibition Gallery.
Banners
of a crocodile-headed god and an Egyptian queen filled the space, emblazoned
with the words.
