You wake to find yourself on a slab of granite jars of guts around you the smell of death you realize you are in ancient Egypt and you are about to be mummified do you accept the mummification or do you grab what Rags are on the ground cover your loins and run for the sunlight in the distance through the hallway
After considering what would have happened if you would accepted mummification you decide to run for the light you grab some Rags on the ground cover yourself and Sprint down the hall once you’re Outdoors you find yourself in the throngs of crowds of ancient peoples many of them are barely clothed like you so you fit right in and you stumble into the crowd losing yourself you wander for hours until finally you find yourself in the part of town where there’s cooking and food you’re starving you go up to a teller and you beg for food what do you ask for?
Do you ask for
You you ask for milk and honey the teller gives you the most delicious creamy whole milk and the most sweetest most fragrant honey you’ve ever tasted in your life you pour the honey down your throat and then you drink heavily from the cup of milk that the teller handed you this is not just regular milk this is ancient Egyptian milk delicious ancient Egyptian milk
Anyway after your milk high you realize that something must have been in the milk! The teller was not kind and has drugged you. Reaching out you faint and fall to the ground
You shout up for help as you fall a young woman with bright green eyes rushes to your Aid sir are you okay she says I heard you scream it looks as though you’ve been poisoned I will call the magistrate immediately she looks at the teller who is poisoned you you probably wanted to take you as a slave and sell you come with me and with that you go off with the girl down the street
Groggy and high from the rich opiates that have been infused in the milk you find yourself with a girl in a casino They’re all playing Mancala and betting with gold
People from phonecia and carthage, from cyprus and byzantium, all shouting in their own languages for more drink. Beer was very popular in ancient egypt fyi.
You are seated with the girl in a small gazebo like structure with silks and cushions.
She begins to explain to you that she’s a princess from Greece and then she needs your help
Part of you wants to say that you’ll help part of you want to be left alone you never struggle with so much indecision before you wait to make your decision hoping that something will come to mind
I think I’ll help this girl you say to yourself realizing that much more of you wants to help her than you realized she thanks you copiously and orders mugs of elephant horns filled with beer come to the table
She leans into you, I must explain the scenario to you you are you find yourself in Thebes the city is filled with tretury and deceit every other person will poison you watch out
Let us make for the inn. We will sleep the evening in my quarters and in the morning make our way to the palace.
Once in her quarters you realize that the bed is very small so you don’t know what to do do you wait to find out what she wants to do or do you ask to sleep on the floor?
The next morning you set off to the Palace with gifts for the for the pharaoh Pharaoh’s underling who rules Thebes his name is hatsetsup and he is a chilling character known for his poisons and tortures.
As you enter the room you offer the frankincense and myrrh and gold and diamonds and Ivory and Ebony that you’re princess has brought from Greece the vizier is not impressed he’s shaved head wrinkles and disgust this is all you brought me he says?
