Your team was chosen to travel back in time to warn the young Pharaoh Tutankhamen of his sudden death. According to archaeologists who've studied King Tut's mummy, they discovered that he had been struck with a blunt object to the back of the head. The circumstances around his death are still a mystery. Every member of your team will assume a role in ancient Egyptian society. You will learn about daily life, your job, heiroglyphics, the law, and mummification. All of this will aid you in your quest to figure out how King Tut died and to get him a message in time.
