What would happen if an ancient Egyptian mummy was unwrapped in the early 1920's and still carried traces of the deadly Cholera disease that had killed him? This is what happens when Augustuskahmoun is unwrapped in a backstreet room in Cairo in the presence of several (living) pharaohs. Coughing and spluttering his way to life again, it is clear that Augustuskamoun has more than likely created a new pandemic situation for the people of Egypt and the pharaohs must act accordingly, decreeing a lockdown for everyone, except, it appears, themselves. Life seems to carry on exactly as it had done before the Cholera epidemic, with Augustuskamoun and his inner circle of pharaohs remaining focused on the one thing in hand - enjoying themselves, often at the expense of the people they are meant to be governing. It's one party too many, though, when a deadly curse on the pharaohs is unleashed, affecting their manhood and eventually killing the whole lot of them. But, according to the legends, there is an afterlife, as Augustuskamoun and his pharaohs discover when they are somehow transported to the midst of yet another pandemic, this time one that is raging through Britain, in the 2020's. Can a bunch of already dead Egyptian pharaohs survive in a new country and even more importantly, a new century? And what will happen to the MP's of the Elite party, already unpopular because of their handling of the current pandemic. Sound familiar? Read on and join Nicholas Vaughan's comedic and farcical look at life in lockdown through the eyes of a (possibly dead) pharaoh.
