The Callimachus Text is an ancient text written in the Word of Thoth, which holds the locations of the seven Pieces of the Golden Capstone and their companion Ancient Wonder.
History[]
Seven Ancient Wonders[]
Written by Callimachus of Cyrene around 250 BC, the Callimachus text was composed in order to reveal the locations of the seven Pieces of the Golden Capstone, which Alexander the Great had arranged to be hidden by priests of the Cult of Amun Ra within constructs that would become known as the seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Callimachus wrote the text in the Word of Thoth, a mysterious language that few people could read or write (presumably he had been taught by the Oracle of Siwa or someone else who knew the language), to make it difficult for any unlearned person to uncover should they only be seeking the Capstone Pieces for selfish means.
After Callimachus died, his fellow scholars in the Library of Alexandria would keep the text safe within the Library. Whenever one of the Wonders would unfortunately fall, the Librarians would rewrite portions of the text to reflect the new hiding place of the Wonder and it's accompanying Piece.
In 48 BC, when the Library of Alexandria was in imminent danger of being burned down, one of the librarians managed to spirit away a number of scrolls to another location, including the Callimachus text.
During the 13th century, a spy from the Catholic Church (the descendant organisation of the Cult of Amun Ra) somehow managed to make an illicit copy of Callimachus text.
Some time before 1996, Jack West Jr and Max Epper located several hidden scrolls that had been saved from the Alexandria Library fire, and discovered, among other things, the Callimachus text.

Attributes[]
Written in the Word of Thoth, a language that only the Oracle of Siwa and a few others can read, the Callimachus text is a near-perfect safeguard in revealing the locations of each of the seven Capstone Pieces.
