"By the gods beloved by Baroness Emmuska Orczy Orczy" is a novel published in 1905. Two English friends, schooled in ancient Egyptian language and lore, venture into the Libyan desert searching for a lost civilization. They discover Kamt, a hidden city where descendants of ancient Egypt still live under a Pharaoh's rule. One friend boldly claims divine authority, plunging them into palace intrigue involving a dying king, a scheming queen, and a dangerously beautiful princess whose presence drives people to madness.
