Description:
According to Manetho, a high priest living at the time of
Ptolemy II, Egypt had a history dating back far beyond the
so-called Archaic Period. In this scenario we visit one of
his epochs: a time when the Gods had recently left the
world, and the land was ruled by the Followers of Horus.
While no trace of so incomparably ancient a civilisation
has been found, it is now generally accepted that the
weather was much more clement up to the beginning of the
11th millennium B.C. and that there were early experiments
in both farming and husbandry. It is therefore conceivable
that a civilisation could have sprung up along the banks of
the young Nile. This scenario puts you in the position of
creating that civilisation.
A word of caution: this scenario allows for no errors!
Meet city requests - generously - or "nearly impossible"
will become just "impossible" to win. Otherwise, you have
been blessed with abundant and rich land. Build a city,
and who knows? an intrepid archaeologist might yet discover
its sand-scoured ruins.
