The Offering

... dreams about Cynthia. The script told an incredible story, giving great detail about a break-in to the tomb prior to the one after Emuishere’s burial, confirming Cameron’s suspicions. The thieves had entered while work continued on decorating Emuishere’s tomb, bypassing the many treasures in the preceding chambers to seek out the burial chamber of the priestess. The group had entered the tomb with profit as a secondary goal. The men believed that Djeserit represented a heresy, and meant to punish her by desecration. According to the text, the men had succeeded in reaching Djeserit’s mummy, but had no opportunity to violate her corpse. The six women entombed here, led by Emuishere, acted upon what the text described as a wail of despair from Djeserit’s Ba and Ka, their blessed union as Akh destroyed by the penetration of the thieves. Two of the women died in the process of holding off the thieves until necropolis priests arrived to take the men into custody. Misfortune visited the thieves and their families while the violators awaited judgement, described as the anger of the gods and Djeserit. Everything from boils to plagues of locusts afflicted those associated with the desecration of the tomb.

Finally, Djeserit’s Ba visited the women and communed with them, one and all, before rejoining with her Ka and returning to the afterlife. The six women, low born and poor, earned a place in the tomb, and riches in the afterlife. The text on one of the coffins revealed that the last of the six committed suicide on the day Emuishere died, to ensure that she did not lose her place in the tomb. The value of the account to history was incredible, and represented but a tiny measure of the knowledge encrypted in the tomb’s texts and artifacts. Cameron stood before the last coffin, gazing down in awe at the mummy of a woman who had made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure her place in the afterlife. “We’re ready to move the final bedframe,” Trent said from the entrance to the chamber. “I’ll be right there,” Cameron responded with a smile, knowing that with the chamber before Djeserit’s burial chamber empty, she would open that holy-of-holies on the morrow, likely tapping into another font of ancient knowledge beyond her wildest dreams. **** Though people packed the chamber behind her, the focus of Cameron’s world lay in the hammer and chisel in her hand, pressed against the sealed doorway to the burial chamber. She didn’t notice the thickness ...
