“They’re afraid she’s going to spend all their money on books for the Library.”

Dana

I traveled to Egypt in December 2019 to do research for my Eye of Isis novels, which are set in Alexandria in the time of Cleopatra.

Why, I believe that is a square knot tying the lotus of Upper Egypt and the papyrus of Lower Egypt together. (Luxor Temple)
Is it just me or does it give anyone else a rush to recognize a knot you’ve tied yourself in a carving on the wall of a 3000-year old temple?

“It’s not about the sewers,” Apollodorus said. “They’re afraid she’s going to spend all their money on books for the Library, in particular books to replace the ones that were lost in the fire when Caesar burned his ships.” — Death of an Eye, 2018
