☀️ BENEATH THE SAME SUN ☀️

Egypt — c. 1300 BCE

You wake beneath a sun you recognize.

Everything else is wrong.

The Nile moves beside a city called Ta-Meret—alive with boats, temples, markets, merchants, soldiers, music, gossip, religion, wealth, work, and people who have absolutely no idea what to make of you.

You are not chosen.

You are not expected.

You are simply here.

📸 MEET TA-MERET

A prosperous city on the Nile with its own rhythms, neighborhoods, temples, river traffic, workshops, estates, markets, and ordinary lives already in motion.
