Thanks to a magical concoction, Papyrus goes back a century to meet the future Pharaoh, Tutankhamun, and his wife Anksenamon. Papyrus witnesses Tutankhamun's murder and the sombre goings-on that follow his death.

Papyrus is once again rescued by Theti-Cheri, his friend and the Pharaoh's daughter. Before he returns to his own era, Papyrus discovers who has been looting the tombs in the Valley of Kings.
