Bruce Feiler continues his journey through the greatest stories ever told by retracing Joseph's path to Egypt after his brothers sell him into bondage. When Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams, he rises from slave to the heights of power and even brings his brothers and father, Jacob, to live in Egypt. Feiler travels from the great temple of Karnak in Luxor, formerly ancient Thebes, to the pyramids and sphinx of Giza to the royal burial tombs in the Valley of the Kings. As he treks by camel, boat, horseback and foot, he discovers how the ancient Egyptian culture and religion influenced the Israelites during their centuries-long stay in Egypt. Beginning at the shallow waters of the Nile, Feiler retraces the story of one of the Bible's greatest figures, Moses, and his eventual confrontation with Pharaoh and the command to let his people go. Did the Israelites build the pyramids? What could have caused the 10 plagues? Was it really the Red Sea that Moses crossed?
