The Egyptian (29th Century BC)

I was born in the 29th Century BC, in what is now called Egypt. We called in Kemet then, and even today, I still tend to call Egypt, Modern Kemet. My original name, I forgot a long time ago, due to not using it. I lived a full and long “first” life. When I “died” from a sword-thrust due to a war, I was buried in the sand, due to my family being quite poor. I woke up in the night, and had a sudden realization, that that part of my life was over. Thus I started walking, all the way to Persia, aka Mesopotamia…

British loyalist turned Colonial soldier, American Revolutionary War

I fought with him [note: George Washington] in the War of Independence, after switching from the British side. Also voted for him those first two elections.

An ancestor to writers (19th century)

And I think (not sure) I'm the ancestor of Upton Sinclair…

Desmond Field (early 20th century)

Around 1900. Desmond Field, lived in London, I was an accountant, and had been for ten years.

The French soldier (WWI) and John James Ingersoll (1940s-? AD)

The Egyptian: (…) Fought for the French in that war. Died in the Somme, and again at Passchendaele. By the end of it all, I felt empty, heartless, disillusioned.

Gregorios: I understand that definitely. I remember being a bit disillusioned after the war for a few years. But once I had settled down into a new family, I felt better.

The Egyptian: I wasn't as lucky as you. I didn't get a new family until the Forties. I decided to go to America after the war, which I helped during a few times in their history. I named myself “John James Ingersoll”.
