Emerald Egyptian English

A Story by Abishai100

An idealistic trio of American teachers embark on an Egyptian adventure tying emerald stones of superstition possibly linked to an ancient 'Ego' chess diction!

An 'archaeological-adventure' inspired by The Mummy (Brendan Fraser). Thanks for reading (and enjoy!),

The U-Chicago art museum received a very unusual shipment of mysterious set of shiny glowing emerald cut-stones of a dated age surprisingly seemingly procured from the Egyptian empire and drew the interest of three young teachers who'd been interested in social-media commentary about museum exhibitions of civilization 'gems' in academic environments.

AMLAN: This seems to be a fingerprint-clue leading to Cairo for a time-dimension magic!

EZZY: You're a lunatic, Amlan; these stones are obviously simple Empire treasures with superstition (only).

RAKI: You're both right (me thinks!) --- what're folks saying about Egypt on social-media?

MUSEUM CURATOR: All we know is the emerald pieces were replaced with precut/made 'replica' gems after-hours by a mysterious masked 'trio' claiming to be after-hours ventilation problem inspectors seeking private time in all the rooms for fumigation tied to some 'sewer-toxicity' issue (like Chernobyl!).

Our three 'heroes' of this Emerald-Egypt tale were in fact the culprits behind the swapping of the Egyptian stones from the Chicago-museum but promised to return them after their 'private' venture-inquiry into the source/symbolism of the stones and why they were found in DC. They trekked to the US-Embassy in Cairo for answers, not disclosing their possession(s).

AMLAN: We want simple 'limited' access to the theory-track site where the U-Chicago shipment originated.

REPRESENTATIVE: Alright!

The Embassy directed the precocious trio (Amlan/Ezzy/Raki) to a special history gallery of treasures from Egypt which kept a special stone tablet with a mysteriously precocious hieroglyph arrangement of symbols which the teachers decoded to read, "Let these 'timeless green stones' be found by educators and returned for a Cairo expression for civilization laurels and superstition."

Amlan/Ezzy/Raki had to conclude the Emerald pieces were some time-portal magic element set used to invoke some Egyptian demon of power(s) and tracked the shipment company (to U-Chicago) activity and discovered an underground 'labyrinth' beneath one of the Pyramids where their stones brought to life an entire court of Ancient 'specters' that included a court-fight between two warrior-women.

AMLAN: This is like from that Indiana Jones movie (we're to be the scrolls!).

The specters 'gifted' the trio a special Egyptian chess-set which they then 'secretly' brought back to the United States, with the Emerald pieces for safe-return back to the Chicago-museum. Ezzy promised to record this entire 'archaeological mysticism odyssey' in a special novel titled The Chess of Time.
