Pharaoh
9.99 €
Egypt, 11th century BC.
The once powerful state is in decline: the people are impoverished, the treasury is empty, the army is falling apart, and the once conquered peoples are grumbling with discontent. Formally, the country continues to be ruled by the pharaohs of the 20th dynasty, but in fact, all state policy is determined by the priests, and real power belongs to Herihor, the Minister of War and the High Priest of Amun-Ra.
The situation escalates when the young prince Ramses XIII ascends to the throne. The energetic, hardy and intelligent pharaoh dreams of putting the priests in their place, replenishing the state treasury with money from their treasury, putting an end to the tyranny of officials and easing the burden of the common people. However, the priests are not going to lose their wealth and power, and Ramses has to understand that ruling the country is not so easy, and for the sake of the interests of the state, sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice the welfare of its individual subjects.
