THEY EXCLAIM You are right to gasp. For this is the prism
of the Pharaohs. During this period, human beings were sacrificed
to the gods at dawn. The high priest would strap the
offering to a stone table. He would place the prism
onto a staff and stand the staff on the ground. As the light of the rising sun

on the heart of the offering. And when it did,
the priest would strike, killing the sacrificial victim
and pleasing the gods. The body would be mummified
and the tomb have a curse put upon it to destroy all those
who dare open the sarcophagus
