The story follows the excavation of an ancient Egyptian tomb belonging to the nobleman Perneb, which is discovered by a team of archaeologists led by the protagonist, Dr. John Garrow. As the team uncovers the tomb's treasures and decipher its hieroglyphics, they begin to unravel the story of Perneb's life and the political and social climate of ancient Egypt. Along the way, they face challenges such as rival archaeologists, dangerous traps within the tomb, and the ethical dilemmas of uncovering and potentially exploiting ancient artifacts.
