The year is 525 BC. Insulted by Pharaoh, the Persian King marches to the Battle of Pelusium. There, he will unleash a weapon never before used in war. Can the terrified Egyptians save the day? Can you guess the secret weapon before it’s too late? Or will the dynasty fall?
Based upon actual historical events, this is the story of how and why psychological warfare first began. Yet the final reveal of the secret weapon is sure to raise a laugh and a smile on your children’s faces.
To increase this book’s educational value, the text is in both English and Coptic (the indigenous language of Egypt). With illustrations presented primarily in an Egyptian style of line art, it doubles as a colouring book.
