The straw king: crows' revenge in ancient Egypt by Robert Wanyoike

Ancient Egypt, a land of mystery and wonder, often conjures images of mighty pharaohs, towering pyramids, and powerful gods. Yet, beyond the grandeur, lies a rich tapestry of daily life, of farmers toiling in the fields, of families working together to ensure their survival, and of conflicts arising from the competition for resources.

In this story, we venture into the heart of ancient Egypt's agricultural society to explore a simple yet profound conflict: the struggle between humans and crows over the bounty of the harvest.

Through the eyes of Knuhm, the inventor of the first scarecrow and a pioneering entrepreneur of his time, we witness the birth of a scarecrow union, a system of labor, and

the unexpected rebellion of the very birds he sought to control.
