From ancient myth to modern legend... the story of the Great House.

Book One: Conception

The Pharaoh was said to be a living god, and ruler of all the world. The word 'Pharaoh' is a Greek word which in Egyptian meant 'great house'.  Legend has it the 'Great House' of the Pharaoh started human civilization from Egypt. After several thousand years, and a global cataclysm, the Great House relocated to Babylon, and became the Persian empire.  When the Greek King, Alexander the Great, defeated the Persian Empire in 332 BCE, the Great House returned to Egypt.  Greek, Egyptian, and Persian wisdom and culture merged in the newly founded city of Alexandria, to create Hellenism.  From within the most incredible library and institution of higher learning ever built, the Library of Alexandria, the idea that wisdom is supreme evolved. Alexandria became the center of the world, and the new home of the great and powerful Pharaoh. They gathered and assimilated all wisdom known to man, the brilliant minds and writings from every corner of earth. The geniuses of Alexandria built computational machines and clocks, they discovered the world is round and circumnavigated the globe, and even experimented with electricity over a thousand years before the Europeans would later claim to have made these discoveries.  From Alexandria, the Court of the Pharaoh laid the foundation for the world as we know it today.   It was said the Pharaohs had the technology of the gods and power beyond what most can comprehend...

What if the Great House never actually ended?  What if the house of the Pharaoh continued to the present day in secret, and never lost its technological edge?

Who was Alexander the Great?

Alexander the Great was a descendant of Hercules as well as Egypt's last native Pharaoh.  The Egyptian Priesthood crowned Alexander Pharaoh of Egypt after he defeated Darius III of Persia, and liberated Egypt from centuries of Persian rule in 332 BCE.   

As Pharaoh, Alexander ruled the known world, and united the East and West into one global Republic. In Alexandria, Alexander ordered the construction of a Library whose myth and legends are the subject of great mysteries and intrigue, which created the Hellenic age, and changed the course of human civilization forever. At its height, the Library of Alexandria was a globally connected and attuned depository of knowledge, with teachers of ancient wisdom, science, and arts from every corner of the globe.  The Great House of the Pharaoh was centered in Alexandria, and from this fabled city, they ruled the world with wisdom and had the most advanced technology on earth, including computational machines and electricity over a thousand years before they were later 'discovered' in Europe...

Who was Cleopatra?

The Pharaoh Cleopatra was a descendent of Alexander the Great and also worshipped as living god".  Wealthy beyond the wildest dreams of most in the world at her time, she was the super-star celebrity of her day.  The luxury and riches, the knowledge and technology of the Ptolomies, the rulers of the Great House, was legendary.  Educated in the Library of Alexandria, Cleopatra was one of the brightest minds there ever was.  Her skills in war, language, power, art, and pageantry are un-matched to this day.  She too changed the world, and inspired Shakespearian epics, and legends for centuries to come.  Cleopatra was a genius, and her court was a force to be reckoned with, and brought Rome to its knees.  Her army of artists, craftsmen, engineers, architects, warriors, spies and academics gave her near total power over the Hellenic world.  Her Priests and high initiates of Alexandria were the wizards of their day, and had the most advanced technology the world had ever seen.  She was, in every way, a Pharaoh.

What happened to Cleopatra's child with Caesar?

Caesar came to Alexandria and met and fell in love with Cleopatra. Caesar was probably crowned as a Pharaoh in an Egyptian temple ceremony.  And soon Cleopatra had a child with Julius Caesar.  After Caesar was murdered in Rome, Cleopatra had him venerated as a god.  He became a god to the Hellenic world.  History tells us this child of Caesar and Cleopatra, Caesarion, was killed after Augustus took Egypt.  Anthony and Cleopatra killed themselves in their romantic Shakespearian 'Romeo and Juliet' fashion, and Caesarion was sent to safety with some of the royal court and half it’s treasure.  Augustus was told he had been killed.  Legends say this 'last Pharaoh' escaped to India... This Pharaoh, the ‘living god’ would eventually returned to Egypt had children and the house of the Pharaoh lived on unbroken, but kept a secret from the world.

The Pharaoh is said to be the "living god", the king of kings, King of the world, entitled to the supreme Roman title of Pontifex Maximus.

The Scion of this bloodline lives.  This ‘great house’ was taken underground.  The secrets of the Pharaoh were hidden from Rome, and hidden from history.  This Scion is the modern day Pharaoh...  He is wealthy beyond imagination, has the technology that is thousands of years more advanced than the public, and he rules the world via a secret global secret society and Order.

When the discovery of the most ancient and powerful secret of the Pharaohs is found, the Aton, an artifact with a power so great it can destroy the world… It tears apart the global order.

And now someone has to save the world.

The world needs a hero.
