V srdci Afriky existuje už viac ako tritisíc rokov mimoriadne tajomstvo: hrobka faraóna Mamose, navrhnutá písařom Taitom na oslavu moci panovníka a uchovanie jeho obrovských bohatstiev. Taita, presvedčený, že nikto nikdy nenaruší jeho hrob, zanechal záhadné pokyny na krehkom papyruse, odhaľujúc tajomstvá hrobky a cestu k nej. Výzva je otvorená pre každého, kto má odvahu čeliť duchom vzdialenej minulosti.
