:43:01
We don't know yet. That's part of
what l've been researching.

:43:05
Where was it found?
:43:06
Oh, in a disused room in the Sully area
l think so anyway.

:43:09
just where they saw the phantom
when he blew in the first time.

:43:13
Are you saying he's been here before?
:43:15
Oh, there's a first time
for everything.

:43:17
but that goes way back. Back when the Beatles had
just released Sergeant Pepper.

:43:23
l was dancing every night in nightclubs
wearing a skirt that was this big.

:43:27
- Well, youth is wonderful.
- Wonderful yeah.

:43:31
An incurable disease.
:43:33
Janis Joplin , jimmy Hendrix.
Jim Morrison.

:43:38
Lost destiny, every one.
Brings tears to my eyes.

:43:41
But everyone was once young.
And you are still here.

:43:45
That's the problem.
:43:47
Now, uh... now
we're in Egyptology.

:43:50
Now this is a portico from the tomb
of an Egyptian king.

:43:53
That was very important since it was the false
door which separated the living from the dead.

:43:56
This is the Stela of Amenwassoo which
is about three thousand years old.

:44:00
Miss, what's the comic?
:44:02
That's a papyrus. lt's called the book
of the dead but you're still a bit young for that.

:44:07
lt's the story of morning.
:44:13
Look, the sun rises,
:44:15
symbolizing the triumph
of life over death.

:44:17
Re, the sun god, moves
across the sky to the west.

:44:21
His solar boat is gliding down the celestial
river and reaches the netherworld at evening.

:44:27
lt moves through the portal...
to the kingdom of shadow.

:44:31
- C'mon, shall we go?
- No.

:44:33
But the god named Apopis, or the snake god,
is after the sun god.

:44:35
The door keeper of the twelve hours
of night and he has to confront him
every morning so the sun will rise.

:44:42
You follow me?
:44:44
- Sure. You must teach history.
- No.

:44:47
So how come you know all that?
:44:49
l have no idea,
but apparently l know it.

:44:55
Okay, follow me, children
let's go see the mummified animals.
