Ep 08: The Book of Maps

The series finale of Long Night in Egypt. Amr is found delirious on the roadside outside Saqqara, blown from the pyramid when Unas' chariot rose to join the sun. Uncle Abasi and Aunt Rania search the pyramid and find only what was left behind: the book of maps. Kayla's backpack. No sign of anyone who entered.   But the book of maps shows their fate. Kayla and Mo have become eternal attendants of Pharaoh Unas — transformed, bound to the ancient god who weighed their hearts and kept them. Not destroyed. Not freed. Claimed.   Uncle Abasi makes a decision that completes the mythology of the series: the pyramid and its ancient power must never be exposed. The police must never know. The mystery will remain unsolved. Some doors, once opened, must be sealed again.   All eight episodes of Long Night in Egypt are now available.   Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. A Violet Hour Media production.   LISTENER WARNING: This program includes depictions of violence and other subject matter that may be upsetting for listeners. Learn more about your ad choices.
