Egypt. 1922 In one of the little-explored corners of the Valley of the Kings, archaeologist Howard Carter finds a sealed tomb, at the entrance to which is attached a tablet with the words of a terrible curse inscribed on it. But what is the mystery of the mysterious burial? Which of the rulers of Ancient Egypt has been resting under a thick layer of hot sand for many centuries? And why do the workers refuse to go down and only look at each other anxiously and whisper among themselves? An attempt to answer these and many other questions forces Carter to mentally travel back several thousand years in order to reveal hitherto unknown secrets of ancient history.
