Spinx

Here's the book that I am reading now.

Sphinx - by T S Learner. Its about an Egyptian Astratium. As per the story the carbon dating of this instrument is something like 3000 to 4000 BC. thats the time around Moses. Didn't even know that Egyptians had something like instruments those days. The timing of this instrument is interesting. Its during the time of Moses and Ramses - III. Thats the time when Egyptians believed in sorcery and practiced sorcery. For argument's sake, the book imagines that this astratium provides the holder with powers to accomplish anything he wants. Thats a lot of power. Can't imagine what all damage such an instrument could have done in the hands of power hunger Egyptians and Romans during their time. But then I suppose this is a bad bet at any time of human civilization. I mean from the time homosapiens developed from hunters to settlers, when have we ever showed sense with anything that wields power?

Will update this page once I am done reading this book.
