[ WP ] You 're part of a team of researchers working on the Great Pyramid . You have just discovered that the Pyramid was n't built to be a monument . It was designed as a warning .

The hieroglyphs in the recently discovered and hidden chamber complex shone in the dim lighting. The glyphs were curious, leafed with gold and lined with crushed gem stones they were far more ostentatious than any other hieroglyphs previously discovered and their meaning hard to interpret. A messenger was dispatched to the University of Cairo to bring a language expert but the trains were unreliable and roads rough, it would be some time till they would arrive even if the expert they needed was n't at another site. `` Hey Mitch Get in here! I found some strange looking canopic jars'' shouted Wesley the PHD student assisting the investigation. Professor Mitch Muskle put the magnifying glass carefully on the field desk he had set up in the main chamber and walked down the corridor to Wesley. 
 Six canopic jars with strange heads sat atop the field desk and stared at Mitch, the number annoyed him greatly there should only be four. One of the heads was certainly human in shape the next two jars were topped with a deformed fig like object the next with a scorpion like creature but as for the other three it got weird even for the exciting realm that was Egyptian mythology. Two were grotesque in form, a deformed lumpy looking snake and a squat headed with a spider ’ s face and beady eyes. The last jar was haunting, sensual curves of the elongated head contrasted heavily against the violence implied by the opened mouth filled with glass fangs, Mitch found himself stroking the head with his thumb while he considered what was going on. 
 
 “ Hey I really appreciate you coming all this way, I know the journey isn ’ t easy these days ” said Mitch as he handed a tin cup of water to Professor Abagnale “ It is no bother at all, quite honoured to be involved with the work. New hieroglyphs discovered in the Great Pyramid this could really make my career ”. The two men poured over the transcribed glyphs trying to make heads or tails out what they found, but what little context they could find made no sense. “ Says here ‘ and the Snake will come forth ’ but from where? Everything before hand is gibberish ” complained Abagnale, 
 “ gibberish like how, untranslatable? ” 
 
 “ no it ’ s mostly the phonetic words but the words have no Egyptian equivalent I have ever read about and the others make no sense, eggs, queens, hunters and vessels in the sky. If you had given me these notes and transcriptions and I didn ’ t get to lay eyes on them in person I would have dismissed all of it as hooey ” Abagnale took his glasses off and pinched the bridge of his nose with a big sigh. The artefacts that had been uncovered and catalogued only added to the confusion, impossible steel spears and claws, armour that didn ’ t fit in the Egyptian culture, the six canopic jars and an associated cast iron sarcophagus that had been welded shut and a large ceiling fresco of a starscape. The research was inconclusive despite six months of intensive study, a legion of experts had gone through the chambers and read through the notes, photographs of the interior was circulated through the newspaper in the hopes it would trigger a spark of inspiration somewhere in the world. The hype faded after two years only to resurface time to time in popular culture whenever mysteries of the ancients came back into fashion. 
 
 The mystery was only solved when humanity reached into the stars and encountered them and only then when it was too late. The pictures of the aliens made it through upper echelons of government and private enterprise until it reached an individual with a backround in classical history who was familiar with the mystery of the great pyramid and drew a connection. The old material was revisited and compared against the new findings coming in from the off planet colonies and research stations. The meaning in the message was made clear “ Stay away and don ’ t get involved with the evil in the skies ” but the warning was too late and humanity under threat from the alien menace like a cancer.
