Yacoub, S: Ankh

The portal is open, and the world will never be the same. The ancient gods are anxious to return, to reignite their old glory. If unleashed, it will shatter man's hope for peace.The Arab-Israeli conflict took a nasty turn; a dark cloud hovered over the entire Middle East as the world's armies launched toward the ultimate battle. As the planet balances on the edge of World War III. Amidst the U.S. ground forces a group of archeologists go missing in the ruined city of Abu Simbel. A military team and scientists arrive in Egypt to investigate. It wasn't just old ruins and deserts to contend with. The mission became a survival run as political intrigues threatened to tear them apart. The team must act fast to discover the truth deep into Abu Simbel. A mystery was present; an alien celestial artifact rests in those ancient ruins, a portal to somewhere else. It may be the key to finding the missing archeologists or the doorway to places beyond human conception. And the story begins; They enter to face forces fighting a war older than time. Against all odds, a group of people frozen in time and waiting for a deliverer holding back the ancient powers. They were caught into a conduit across time to the middle Egyptian dynasty and confronted by a group of Hebrew and Egyptians escaping the Pharoh of Exodus and awaiting a message, the way to safety. To them, the Ankh was a sign, the way to life. But, the message was not for the escaping remnant but to the mission team, "The time is up; the Ankh returns."
