The Tomb of Imhotep is the final resting place for the legendary Egyptian architect.
History[]
Early History[]
After his death, the Egyptian chancellor and architect Imhotep's body was taken to a tomb built in the Siwa Oasis, and was mummified before being sealed in liquid stone that was set into the floor. While his tomb was unmarked, Imhotep had previously written that he would be sealed in a tomb dedicated to Thoth with the secrets of the Supreme Labyrinth buried with him.
Eventually the area around Imhotep's tomb was filled with more tombs, leading to the area being referred to as the Hill of the Dead. Over the centuries, the tomb chamber above Imhotep's body, which became known as the Tomb of Niperpathoth, was pilfered by grave robbers and archaeologists of anything valuable. For all this time, the tomb of Imhotep remained hidden from all, and even the Catholic Church that evolved from the Cult of Amun Ra seemed to have no idea where Imhotep had been laid to rest.
The Two Lost Mountains[]
While researching leads into the Supreme Labyrinth, Alby Calvin came across the text written by Imhotep at the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, discovering that the ancient architect had been buried with the secrets to the Labyrinth. Believing this could be vital, Alby tried to decipher where "the great hill of the Oracle under the sea" was located, but dismissed Siwa since he knew it was nowhere near the ocean.
Later, while travelling from the Zapadny Cosmodrome to the Supreme Labyrinth, Alby noticed on the Black Raven's digital map the location of the approaching Siwa, and saw that it was located below sea level. Realising that he had been mistaken earlier and that the tomb of Imhotep was indeed at Siwa, Alby redirected Rufus to take them to the Hill of the Dead.
Entering the Tomb of Niperapathoth, Rufus dismissed it since it was empty, however Alby scanned the floorstones and recognised the greystone among them. Chiseling away at the greystone, Alby and Rufus soon uncovered the body of Imhotep, with Alby removing the mummified man's skullcap and discovering the clues to the Supreme Labyrinth were tattooed onto Imhotep's skull. With time running out to get to the Labyrinth, Alby wrenched Imhotep's head from his body before he and Rufus departed the tomb.
