• Menkaura The Mummy

Plot

About 4,500 years ago, during the time of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the pyramids of Giza were built. The third pyramid was built around 2490 BC. so that Pharaoh Menkaura would become God. The Egyptian pharaohs hoped to become gods in the afterlife. To prepare for the afterlife, they erected temples to the gods and enormous pyramidal tombs for themselves, filled with everything each ruler would need to guide them through the afterlife. Today, very angry and tired of waiting for so many thousands of years in his pyramid, Menkaura has woken up with the desire to become human again. To do this, he has left his grave looking for some mysterious potions that contain a secret elixir. The potions are distributed throughout the interior of the pyramid, among palaces, temples, pits for solar ships, traps and other elements. Menkaura still possesses certain magical powers such as teleporting from one place to another through sarcophagi, throwing poisonous bandages, and releasing blue scarabs that cause magical explosions.
