First serialized in 1895, published in 1897, made into a movie (Oscar nominated) in 1965, the only historical novel by Bolesław Prus (of The Doll fame), set in Ancient Egypt and dealing with heavy, heavy politics. As well as social problems of the author's time.The Film of the Book, 1966 film Pharaoh, is deemed one of the best Polish movies, despite (or because) shoestring budget and Troubled Production.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A young, ambitious son of the pharaoh is made the crown prince. Despite his fresh (read - naive) outlook and great enthusiasm for the job, Ramesses slowly discovers that good intentions are less than insufficient when you want to make your kingdom mighty, crush your enemies and bring prosperity to your people. In fact, they might even be detrimental, especially when you've got a host of priests watching your every move...And their disapproval may not be so unfounded.Read it here in the original Polish.

Ancient Conspiracy: Chaldean priesthood of which Egyptian is an outshoot. Extremely conservative, which in this time and place means protective of civilisation. Not evil.

Ancient Egyptian Stasis: Which Ramesses wants to break out of. Greeks are deemed more creative and liable to inherit the world.

Ambition Is Evil: The priests think so of Ramesses's ambition (which is hefty).Pentuer thinks it'll worsen the condition of people (forcing them to work for Ramesses's wars). Herhor thinks more of the treasury.

Alternate History: Real Life Egyptian XX dynasty ended with Ramesses XI. Other than that, research was done, but some of the history appears to be dated. Herhor was real, though.
