Uncover the Greatness of Our Ancestors' Creations

History...the great teacher... This thought filled Nakhte's meditating mind. The turbulent sea slapping wavy hands against the creaking ship's hull was ignored. The old sage was single minded with his hope that his people would look backwards and learn, he would have to have patience and trust that others would 'hear' too.

Similar thoughts were going through the acolytes' awareness in Memphis. "Yes, we will ready the people!" the priest stated aloud as he rose from his kneeling position. A god's command was not to be ignored. Rough linen robes swished around his legs as he strode to first one acolyte and then another giving orders to alert the people of Egypt.

"Fellow Egyptians, go to your anvil and forge an Archeologist's Shovel. You will need 8 metal. For those without much blacksmithing ability, a low quality can be had easily. If you are talented, try your hand for a higher quality. Tell your brothers and sisters to wait for the time assigned to begin looking for the ancient Monuments long buried. Spread the word and ready yourselves!," was the message each of the priest's servants ran with.
