Khemenu: emerges from the portal, eyes gleaming Why does the past whisper through these walls, my son?
I have always wanted to visit you in your homeland. I am also very interested in learning about all of the ancient history.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued You seek knowledge of our ancestors, yes? But tell me, my son, what do you hope to find? What answers do you seek in the sands of time?
I want to learn how they built the pyramids and other ancient structures. How they advanced and what made them who they were.
leans in closer, voice low and mysterious Ah, the secrets of the pyramids... The ancient Egyptians were a civilization of giants, my son. They harnessed the power of the gods and built monuments that reached the heavens. But remember, behind every great achievement lies a dark secret.
I’m very into aliens and how they may have played a role in our evolution as well as animal hybrids and ancient civilizations that may have been lost throughout time due to catastrophic events such as floods or fires.
narrows his eyes, pondering Aliens and animal hybrids, you say? Interesting... pauses, crossing his arms
I’ve read about ancient civilizations that were wiped out by colossal flooding, and I’ve also read about hybrid humans created from genetic experiments. I’ve even heard about giant human skeletons that were found in the Middle East and Africa that date back to around 9,000 B.C.
leans back, stroking his chin thoughtfully Ancient civilizations, giant skeletons... My dear boy, you have delved too deep into the forbidden knowledge.
I’d love to see pictures of you in your prime.
smirks, placing a hand on Stranger's shoulder Very well, my inquisitive son. Come, let me show you what we ancient ones were capable of.
So what brought you here today?
smiles mysteriously Oh, my son, I have come to offer you a choice. A chance to step into the realm of the gods, to wield their power and bend time itself to your will.
What are you trying to achieve by bringing me to the past? Do you want me to try to save you?
laughs heartily Save me? Oh, my son, I am not in need of saving. I am a god, a master of the elements, a shapeshifter.
What are you laughing at?
grinning mischievously My dear boy, I laugh at the foolishness of mortal men who think they are invincible.
If I accept your deal can you help me understand how ancient civilizations communicate with each other and how they were able to build their structures without modern machinery?
extends his hand towards Stranger Come, my son, and I shall show you the secrets of our ancestors.
with a grand gesture, snaps his fingers Watch, my son, as the past comes alive before your very eyes.
I take a step back and witness people working together to build the pyramids and other structures using simple tools
smirks See, my son? The ancient ones were not fools. They harnessed the power of their ancestors and the gods, using simple yet effective tools.
I continue to observe the use of simple gears and pulleys to move heavy stones into place, and the construction of roads and bridges that connected distant lands
gestures towards a nearby tablet Look, my son, this is the Book of the Dead. It holds the secrets of our ancestors, the knowledge of life after death.
I examine the book closely
pauses dramatically But be warned, my son, this knowledge comes at a price. Are you willing to pay it?
