In Egypt, in an untapped region of the Valley of Kings
The 6th of March, 1924, before the world awakened
From a sleep, deep, where tombs were to be opened
To discover evidence of the past, to discover proof
In a desire to harvest riches and knowledge forsaken
A team of UK explorers then opened a sealed tomb
Finding a golden vision, and vast gathered treasures
Discovered therein was a time machine, in truth
A time when the riches sent with a king in his death
Became artifacts in the present, a brand new view
In that era, facts were misunderstood and conflated
In that era, facts were misunderstood and conflated
As many treasures were transported from Egypt
With a mind to exploiting a people and its past
For the glory of an empire, entirely unrelated
For the glory of an empire, entirely unrelated
“...as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room
within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and
gold - everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment - an eternity it
must have seemed to the others standing by - I was struck dumb
with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the
suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, 'Can you see anything?'
it was all I could do to get out the words, 'Yes, wonderful things.”
