Found written in hieroglyphics on a coffin dug up in Cairo. Astrological divinations by the court mage of the Fatimid Caliph indicated that something interesting was in this spot, so he told the Caliph to build a mosque there. Diggings for the foundation revealed a sarcophogus, on which this was written in hieroglyphics. Translated by the Temporary Party:


    Every time before when the two kingdoms have fallen, the children of Nun have reclaimed the twin thrones
    for the children of Ra, but the omens have spoken that the millennia of Ra end with me, here, in an
    anonymus grave near the Nile. With me ends the history of the two kingdoms, but the history of the world
    will end soon, as well, in fewer than two hundred lifespans of a man. The omens have ever spoken the
    truth up till now, and I see no reason why they should now lie.
    
    And then will be nothing but night forever.
