At its height, the Egyptian empire extended from the Sudan to the Mediterranean Sea from as far West as Libya to as far north as modern day Turkey. But by the end of the 21st dynasty, this magnificent kingdom was threatened by very disturbing forces both inside and outside the Kingdom. The Nubians, the Hittites, the Assyrians, the incipient Greek kingdoms, and the Sea People (Carthaginians?) jealously competed and tested the limits of the Reign of the Pharaohs. Lizla, a beautiful and inspired princess was born to save her country from the chaos of a fracturing Empire. With her psychic prowess and spiritual mentoring she reinvigorates her culture in the ways of love, beauty, spiritual awakening and even political power and friendship. In times that call for juggling competing fidelities and precarious enemies, Lizla struggles with her own loyalties, responsibilites and ultimate purpose in life. Instructed by the goddess Isis herself she plunges into her mission - to discover the ancient mysteries that stood at the root of Egyptian culture. This book depicts the princess's preparation for this profound mission, her journey to understanding her own power and her initiation into the mysteries of one of the most fascinating cultures in world history.

Lizla, the Daughter of Isis, is a psychic princess whom we see evolving through her coming of age experiences which are both mystical and human – describing her own awakening in the flesh and in the Spirit. The novel is set in the ancient history of the Middle East and projects in to it many timeless issues of spiritual awakening, budding romance, political intrigue and coming of age in difficult – if not chaotic circumstances. It is not a coincidence that this geographic area seems to sustain the same conflicts today, even if many of the cultural parameters have changed. Here is a comment from a professional reviewer of the first edition of this book: “Although the story line follows Princess Lizla as she enters into her study of the mysteries, there is more focus on her lessons than on the activities of her life. Delving into the energies of the chakras, the powers of the gods, and the value of self-awareness, Nirupa provides valuable insights for personal journeys of discovery and understanding. While this is a fictional account of the ancient Egyptian civilization, Nirupa does a wonderful job of explaining how such diverse cultural and religious backgrounds might have come together to create a thriving empire that survived a millennia. Reading this book is not a process of immersing oneself in the identity of a fictional character. Instead, it is an act of introspection, reflection, and meditation that can enhance one’s immersion in oneself.” Wendy Strain for USD Review of Books

ISBN: 1107040485

This book examines the appetite for Egyptian and Egyptian-looking artwork in Italy during the century following Rome's annexation of Aegyptus as a province. In the early imperial period, Roman interest in Egyptian culture was widespread, as evidenced by works ranging from the monumental obelisks, brought to the capital over the Mediterranean Sea by the emperors, to locally made emulations of Egyptian artifacts found in private homes and in temples to Egyptian gods. Although the foreign appearance of these artworks was central to their appeal, this book situates them within their social, political, and artistic contexts in Roman Italy. Swetnam-Burland focuses on what these works meant to their owners and their viewers in their new settings, by exploring evidence for the artists who produced them and by examining their relationship to the contemporary literature that informed Roman perceptions of Egyptian history, customs, and myths.
