It is the year 1160 BCE.  Pharaoh Rameses is dead, his tomb and treasures are safely hidden in the Valley of the Kings.  You have come to live with your uncle in Egypt as his apprentice.  He leaves you a task to discover who stole the map that shows where Pharaoh Ramses  tomb is, and to stop the robbers.  In this game of chance, you will choose how to solve the mystery.  Make your choice and spin your Survival Spinner to survive.  Will you have success or disaster?

Hawkins has created a clever story that is also a game for young ancient history lovers.  I enjoyed playing the game as I read along.
