Mara, Daughter of the Nile: Difference between revisions

* [[Hollywood History]]: While the details of day to day life in Egypt are mostly correct, the book portrays Hatshepsut as Thutmose's half-sister, while she was really his stepmother, and casts her as a power-hungry villainess, whose vanity threatens to bankrupt Egypt. Modern historians view her as an excellent ruler who actually had a good relationship with Thutmose.

* [[Informed Flaw]]: We are repeatedly told that Sheftu is nothing special to look at. But since most of the book is from Mara's point of view and she thinks he's the hottest thing since desert bonfires, it doesn't have a lot of impact. Incidentally, Inanni finds him attractive as well.

* [[The Ingenue]]: Inanni

* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: Mara and Nekonkh, who seems to see Mara as the daughter he never had.
