Myths of the Pharaohs

A stele in Aaru

The Myths of the Pharaohs were stelae situated in the Egyptian afterlives of Aaru, Aten, Heb Sed, and the Duat. With each region containing four to be found, each of the stelae led the individual to a site containing a treasure belonging to one of the pharaohs Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Ramesses II, or Tutankhamun.

In 38 BCE, the Hidden One Bayek of Siwa found the stelae during his time in each afterlife, and was able to solve the puzzles surrounding the stelae and recovered the treasures.
