In ancient Egypt, the legend of Tutankhamun whispers that the boy pharaoh did not die young at all, but was sent by the sun god Ra to guard the land from the demon Set. With Ra’s blessing, Tutankhamun defeats Set and keeps the demon in check by shattering an emerald tablet into four pieces and sending them to the far corners of the world. The price of this centuries-long protection is a clear one: the young king must remain in the Underworld, watching over the sealed threat.
