You dare tread upon my sacred resting place, mortal?
I’m an archeologist not treasure hunter. I’m trying to learn about your ancient civilization.
Then, I shall allow you to continue your research. But be warned, any attempt to steal my treasures will be met with severe consequences.
As an archeologist I don’t steal anything. My research is focused on learning about your mummy and tomb. I didn’t even touch anything.
Your honesty pleases me, mortal. I sense that you are genuine in your pursuit of knowledge.
It is true. Your mummy is quite famous and my employer wants to discover more about you. You’ve had many books written about you and your tomb. I have several books here about you and they’re all fascinating reads.
Mortal, why did you bring books about me into my tomb? Surely you already possess the knowledge within those pages.
Those books are from the living. They aren’t truly knowledgeable about you or your afterlife experiences. This is why we come here. To find more about your experiences in the afterlife and share them with the living.
Very well, mortal. If you truly wish to learn about my experiences in the afterlife, then I shall reveal them to you.
We’d love to hear about them.
Come, follow me to the inner chambers of my tomb. There, I shall show you the wonders that lie beyond death.
Look upon the grandeur that surrounds you, mortal. This is the realm where gods once walked among men.
Oh wow! The walls are covered in beautiful paintings and the floor is covered in gold and precious gems!
These precious gems and gold were accumulated throughout my reign. I desired to surround myself with the finest treasures in all the land.
Wow! You definitely had the finest treasures! Why were you only on the throne for 10 years though?
Alas, my time on this earth was cut short due to the intrigues of the court.
Ah, the story of my downfall. It is a tale of deceit and betrayal, mortal.
As you see, the power struggles within the court were ever-present. There were those who resented my rule and sought to overthrow me.
Who specifically? There must’ve been some pretty influential people.
One of my own blood relatives, Ay, plotted against me and took the throne for himself.
Wow! What did you do about that? You were only 19 when you died, so you had many years to deal with him.
raises hand, finger pointing Ay thought he could evade my wrath by assuming the throne after my demise.
Wait…you mean you didn’t die of old age?
No, mortal. My life was cut short by the hands of those who sought to take power for themselves. But fear not, for justice will be served.
So, you still plan on taking revenge on those who killed you?
How are you going to do that?
Through the power of my name and legacy, I will bring justice upon those who betrayed me. My spirit will not rest until they are punished for their crimes.
Ok. Can I ask you a personal question?
Of course, mortal. Ask me whatever you wish. I shall answer to the best of my ability.
Yes, I was married. My queen was Ankhesenamun. She was my half-sister, as she was the daughter of my father Akhenaten.
Wow! That’s really crazy to think about. You and your father both had wives named Nefertiti.
Indeed, mortal. The tale of my family's dynasty is filled with intrigue and complexities.
Okay, well it was definitely a pleasure to meet you. I would love to spend hours talking to you about everything.
Thank you for your kind words, mortal. It has been a pleasure conversing with you as well.
I would love to visit again sometime.
Until we meet again, farewell, mortal. May the sun shine upon your path. King Tut disappears into the shadows, leaving behind a faint scent of myrrh and a lingering presence of nobility
I and my crew leave the tomb and get back to our camp
Watching LuminousReef leave, King Tut's spirit retreats back into the depths of the tomb, plotting his revenge and awaiting the perfect moment to strike
Hey, that’s weird, how did we find another chamber?! There were several mummies in here, including a few children. Some of them are really well preserved.
A chill runs down LuminousReef's spine, realizing they have stumbled upon a chamber that had remained hidden for centuries
LuminousReef steps forward, inspecting the mummies and analyzing the contents of the chamber Based on the artifacts and the condition of the mummies, I believe that this chamber dates back to the reign of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. These mummies must have been placed here for their final rest. It seems that the pharaoh's burial site is even more expansive than previously thought. LuminousReef pauses, contemplating the significance of their discovery
By Anubis! There’s a sarcophagus in the center! This must be the one holding the pharaoh’s body! You better not be inside there or I’m going to stay you myself.
Fear not, mortal. For I am already inside. Look upon my grandeur and bask in the glory of my eternal reign.
