Niuserre (Part I).
The reign of Niuserre has begun, and the political landscape is changing with the times. Courtiers with no blood-link to the royal family begin to enter the highest levels of administration.
Ptah-shepses, once a hairdresser, strides up the career ladder, eventually attaining the rank of Vizier.
Ny-ankh-Khnum and Khnum-hotep appear as well; a special pair in an evolving world.
