ln Deir el Medina he unearthed plans indicating
the royal tomb's exact location.

:56:05
- The tomb was then discovered, a few months...
- Uh excuse me please.

:56:09
l think l discovered a hieroglyph.
:56:12
Lovely. Class we have a new Champollion.
:56:15
You may not know it, but l published a dictionary which
contains all known hieroglyphs.

:56:21
- Right l know but you must have missed mine.
- Very well.

:56:23
l invite you to the blackboard.
Show us your discovery.

:56:27
Use the projector if you like.
:56:36
That's a boat?
:56:38
Well, l don't know what it is but...
you gotta have balls to do that.

:56:40
You're absolutely right, you know.
:56:42
That hieroglyph is unknown
to my knowledge.

:56:44
But Egyptian writing never
stopped changing

:56:46
The scribes as they wrote
would invent lots of new signs.

:56:49
Now this one combines
:56:51
a few different symbols bark,
river, return, netherworld.

:56:55
Any one have any ideas?
Go ahead.

:56:57
Well, maybe it's a spirit that's
crossing the river toward
the kingdom of the dead.

:57:01
Okay and let's say that this
wandering spirit cannot cross
the river. How about that?

:57:08
Like the mummy you were
talking about there?

:57:10
How long have you studied
here at the Louvre?

:57:14
The surveillance camera's up.
You can install it.

:57:18
Tell me.
:57:19
Why are they raising their hands?
:57:21
lt's a ritual observed by all Egyptians.
:57:25
a proud salute to the rising sun.
:57:28
Each figure represents another
character in the story told.

:57:30
Shit. Sorry.
:57:35
Come on. Let's go.
:57:44
Lieutenant!
:57:46
Aren't you on sick leave?
:57:48
- ...against all kinds of risks, including...
- Sure yeah

:57:51
but l'm obsessed with
that beast of yours.

:57:53
l'm not surprised.
Hey, once it grabs you...

:57:55
l get it now. That vision was a message
sent to me from another world.

:57:57
The dog was the god Anubis
you see, l guard the tomb.
