Chapter One: The King's Awakening
In a spacious crypt lit by bronze lamps, where Dr. Mark Sawiris stands anxiously in front of an ancient golden coffin surrounded by hieroglyphs.
The sarcophagus was the most exciting archaeological discovery of his career, and represents a major step in understanding ancient Egyptian civilisation.
"Are you ready, Dr. Mark?" One of his assistants asked in a worried tone.
Mark nodded, saying: "Yes, let's open the coffin carefully."
It all started two months ago, when Mark and his team were working in the Giza area.
They were excavating a new, previously undiscovered site, when they found an entrance covered in sand and rocks.
After days of hard work, they uncovered a long corridor leading to a hidden underground burial chamber.
First while they were removing the rocks, they discovered ancient clay seals bearing warning inscriptions
. These seals indicated hidden traps. Mark called in a team of experts in detecting ancient traps. After careful examination,
they were able to locate and neutralize some traps, whether it was poisonous arrows or dangling rocks and several fake tracks until they reached a great door believed to be the door of the burial chamber.
At the entrance to the room, they found a great door that they could only open after many hours using modern tools and ancient techniques to ensure that nothing important was destroyed.
Once inside, they knew they were facing a startling discovery. "I can't believe we found this," Mark told his team. "This could be a discovery that changes the course of history."
Tension was rising: As they approached the coffin, the atmosphere began to become unnaturally colder, as if they had entered another world.
They were listening to faint sounds, like mysterious mutterings, but they could not determine their source.
The team exchanged worried glances, but the enthusiasm was too great to stop them until they reached the coffin, which was made of gold decorated with many ancient letters.
Now is the moment to reveal their mysterious discovery and begin opening the coffin
Slowly and carefully, the team opened the coffin, revealing the mummy of King Khufu, his face carefully wrapped in linen, bearing the symbol of Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of life and death.
While Mark was examining the mummy, he noticed a strange, unfamiliar pattern.
When he touched it, he felt as if his body was no longer under his control, and suddenly he was uttering words in an incomprehensible language.

"Whoever dares to disturb the king's peace will awaken the curse of immortality."
At that moment, the ancient spirit stirred and King Khufu felt as if he was waking up from a deep sleep that had lasted for thousands of years.
He opens his eyes to see through Mark's eyes, and finds himself in a world completely different from the one he left. The voices and faces were strange to him.
"where am I?" He spoke in Mark's voice, but in an ancient, solemn tone.
The assistant stared at Mark in shock. "Dr. Mark? Are you okay?"
He smiled slowly and said, "I'm back... and the world will never be the same
