  <description><![CDATA[<p> What mystical secrets lie beneath the Great Pyramids? </p> <p> The world changes for Ethan Gage&#8212;one-time assistant to the renowned Ben Franklin&#8212;on a night in post-revolutionary Paris, when he wins a mysterious medallion in a card game. Framed soon after for the murder of a prostitute and facing the grim prospect of either prison or death, the young expatriate American barely escapes France with his life&#8212;choosing instead to accompany the new emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, on his glorious mission to conquer Egypt. With Lord Nelson's fleet following close behind, Gage sets out on the adventure of a lifetime. And in a land of ancient wonder and mystery, with the help of a beautiful Macedonian slave, he will come to realize that the unusual prize he won at the gaming table may be the key to solving one of history's greatest and most perilous riddles: who built the Great Pyramids . . . and <em>why</em>? </p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<p>Ethan Gage, assistant to Ben Franklin and expatriate American in post&ndash;Revolutionary France, wins an ancient&ndash;&ndash;and possibly cursed&ndash;&ndash;medallion in a card game. Covered in seemingly undecipherable symbols, the medallion seems linked to an ancient Masonic mystery. That night, Ethan is framed for a prostitute's murder and barely escapes France his life. </p><p> Faced with either prison or death, Gage is offered a third choice&ndash;&ndash;to accompany the new Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte, as France sails to conquer Egypt, closely followed by Lord Nelson's British fleet. Incredible surprises await Gage once he arrives, in the form of both a beautiful Macedonian slave and in the dawning knowledge that the medallion may answer one of the greatest riddles of history&ndash;&ndash;who built the Great Pyramids, and why&ndash;&ndash;and reveal an answer more shocking and revelatory than anyone could imagine.</p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This was definitely a fascinating book, using the myths of the Freemasons, biblical stories, Egyptian and Greek mythology, some more than others.
