At the time of her death, King Ramses II, famous for his incredible architecture and banishing the Jews from Egypt, was building his navy in the desert. Egypt from 1000 BC was also quite a hedonistic place, where drugs such as psilocybin shrooms, Harmal leaf and Blue Lotus were used to help channelers make contact with the Gods.
