(Anonymous) 2021-05-02 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)I wanted to go "hopefully by an egyptologist."
Because you're right, it is highly removed from today's Egyptian culture and there are a great many different ages of Egypt's history. And so if you have the proper research, the race of the author probably shouldn't matter.
At the same time, I don't like that assumption. And I also know, Tolkien being an exception, writing historical prose versus writing fiction is two very different skill sets. So, I'd be worried an Egyptologist would be too focused on the prose/fact aspects versus being focused on conveying a good story. It's journalism versus fiction. I get extremely wary due to experience if I see a journalist writing fiction or um, a journalist as an editor of fiction. YMMV this is only my experience.
