Story

In Alexandria of Egypt in 48 BC two people in black robes pay the thief Menis-Ra to destroy some papyrus scrolls kept in the city's library. He succeeds, but a single amphora containing a scroll rolls through a hole into the sewage system. At present time Nina is having a nightmare about her upcoming marriage with Max. In her dream the church is suddenly on fire, Max disappears and she sees a man in black robes.

She wakes up beside Max and shortly after, men in combat suits storm the apartment and arrest Max saying that he is accused for terrorist activity, while Nina later learns that there isn't an official claim for that accusation nor his arrest. As Max is taken in custody he says something about their upcoming honeymoon in Australia and Nina, starting from this phrase, searches his apartment and picks up a trail that leads her to Max's office in the Berlin museum. She finds that in the last months Max was interested in an excavation site in Potbelly Hill in southeastern Turkey, where he was called by Emre Dardogan. 000 ago (way before the Egyptian pyramids or Stonehenge) by people who vanished 2000 years later as if never existed.
