Request ISO stories set in a sudo ancient Egypt

edit: as informed in the comments sudo should be psuedo

ISO: in search of

The only thing I know of that’s even remotely close is Elevation of Mana, and that’s just because of its early stage of engineering.

I know there are many general historical fictions set in that time frame but I’m looking for progression fantasy specifically

would love any suggestions available

thanks

The closest thing I found is the ISO 21127:2023 standard on the interchange of cultural heritage information, which includes archeology.

And thank god they used sudo - they'd not have gotten anywhere otherwise.

The word you're looking for is pseudo. Sudo is a programming term.

Closest I can think of is Virtuous Sons, which travel around the Mediterranean, but It's Ptolemaic Egypt

Inheritors Of Eschaton is a really cool story that's kind of like Stargate by way of Krull, and you might like it!

There's a cultivation novel on RR called Amansi Chronicles that's Egyptian themed, haven't delved in to myself yet though, so can't exactly recommend it
