Thanks to a magical decoction, papyrus travels back a century to meet the future pharaoh, Tutankhamun, and his wife Ankhsenamun. Papyrus witnesses Tutankhamun's murder and the sombre goings-on that follow his death. In danger, papyrus is once again rescued by his friend Theti-Cheri, the pharaoh's daughter. But before he returns to his own era, papyrus discovers who has been looting the tombs of the valley of the kings.
