That's better!But... what's THAT?
Inspect
That’s weird. I had never seen that door before!
Inspect
Maybe I can open it by putting those pins in the right notches…
Verify
Open the door!
HELLO??
Who are you?
I'm Mery!
Mery? Nice to meet you. I’m Mary. But what are you doing here?
I found this secret door in the palace of my King and wanted to investigate. What is this place?
Your King? So you work for "the" king? You are in the Griffith Institute, in Oxford. I’m an archivist here.
What is an “archivist”?
Let’s say I’m the guardian of History! I care for important records and documents.
Thanks to my work, people today and in the future will never forget the past!
Oh, it’s like a royal tomb then? Are you a tomb guardian?
Maybe? It’s odd that you’re asking that. I just dropped a box full of records about King Tut’s tomb!
"King Tut"?
Yeah, you know, Tutankhamun?
Wait, you knew the great Tutankhamun, True of Voice? Were you also present when he was buried? May he live forever!
What do you mean? You actually knew him, for real?
I had the honour of being the Chief Scribe for the great Tutankhamun, heqa Kemet.
Heqa what?
Ah okay. And you are a scribe? So you look after documents and stuff, just like me?
This means Ruler of Egypt.
Great! I have no idea what’s happening and how you got here, but since you are here, you can help me organise this mess!
That’s simplifying a lot… but yes.
