In the realm of forgotten histories and enigmatic artifacts, the scarab beetle holds a place of both reverence and mystery. Its connection to ancient Egypt, its intricate hieroglyphics, and its purported ability to traverse the boundaries of time have captivated scholars and explorers for centuries.

At the heart of this enigmatic tale lies the story of Horace Edwards, a British archaeologist who stumbled upon an extraordinary discovery in the desolate deserts of Egypt in the early 1900s.

The Time Keepers, it was said, were an enigmatic order of beings who possessed the power to manipulate the fabric of time. They were sworn to uphold the balance of history, ensuring that the past, present, and future remained in perfect harmony.

According to the hieroglyphics, the scarab possessed the ability to transport its bearer through time. Edwards, his heart pounding with anticipation and trepidation, decided to venture into the unknown.
