By the gods beloved

"By the Gods Beloved" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a historic adventure of two friends, Hugh Tankerville and Mark, who get caught up in ancient Egyptian mysteries and archaeology. As Hugh grows into an Egyptologist inspired by his father, the friends start an expedition into the Libyan desert in search of Kamt, a place of danger, adventure and a mythical land. The story begins in their childhood, showing their close relationship and how Hugh's curiosity of ancient civilization grew from a inherited papyrus from his father. As they navigate the mysteries of the past, they are set towards a potentially life-threatening adventure into the unknown.
