Plot[edit]

In 1975, Hassan Bishr decided to return from Europe after studying Egyptology to the family home in Luxor. He discovered that his father had left him a recorded will in which he narrated many details of his life. He also left him papyri dating back to the reign of Queen Hatshepsut, and handwritten notes attributed to him. For the hero, Ali Al-Zaybak, the events range from the Pharaonic era, the Ottoman era, and the first half of the twentieth century during the rule of King Farouk, as Hassan searches through all of this for what his father left for him.
