Sneferu ascends the throne not merely as Pharaoh, but as the architect of a new era. Following the close of the Third Dynasty, he ushers in sweeping reforms, strengthens Egypt's unity, and redefines what it means to be remembered. Ambitious, charismatic, and politically astute, Sneferu surrounds himself with loyal advisors and skilled builders. Under his leadership, Egypt's pyramid architecture evolves dramatically--from the stepped forms of his predecessors to the smooth-sided monuments that will stand for millennia. But as his vision grows, so do the risks, and not everyone welcomes the change. In Sneferu**, Max brings to life one of Egypt's most impactful kings--an innovator whose monuments were built of stone, but whose legacy was forged in decisions.**
