I když v Egyptě zavládne klid, dávná zloba se stále vplétá do osudů lidí a bohů. Duše mladého faraona Tutanchamona trpí kletbou, kterou na něj seslal Aje. Haremheb, kněžka Akiasare a atlanstká zasvěcenkyně Mirathea se rozhodnou zachránit Tutanchamona z jeho věčného utrpení. I když se zdá, že jejich úkol je nad jejich síly, pro ty, kdo mají odvahu a lásku, není nic nemožného, dokonce ani překročení hranic světů a času. Čas se zvlní jako rozbouřená voda a osudy živých i mrtvých se setkávají napříč tisíciletími. Vše se prolnou v okamžiku, kdy světem prolétne zpráva o objevu hrobky mladého krále Tutanchamona. Objevitel Howard Carter se stává figurkou na šachovnici neznámých sil, zatímco dávná kletba si vybírá oběti jednu za druhou.
Staří Egypťané měli složitý obřad oživování obrazů zemřelých, který připomíná vyprávění dávných příběhů, jež se otevírají jako ústa, oči a srdce. V době osmnácté dynastie, za vlády podivínského faraona Achnatona, ožívají osudy krásné Nefertiiti, její dcer a mladého Tutanchamona. Po Achnatonově smrti se vládcem stává jeho nezletilý syn Tutanchamon, který se zamiluje do své nevlastní sestry Anchesenamon. Mezitím dcera královského architekta Akiasare, jejíž otec slouží králi, se zasvětí bohu Anupovi. V podzemní svatyni se setká s vampýrem Dakh. Akiasare je povolána do paláce, aby naučila faraona pradávnému umění komunikace se zvířaty. Velký vezír Aje, nespokojený se svým postavením, touží po koruně a Anchesenamon. Vytvoří lest, která vede k vraždě mladého faraona, a prohlásí se vládcem Egypta. Anchesenamon je uvězněna a odmítá se za Aje vdát. Aje ji uváže na noc v poušti, kde se setkává s Akiasare a vampýrem. Královská svatba se koná, ale koně se splaší a Aje umírá. Anchesenamon je smrtelně zraněna, ale nakonec je osvobozena a odchází do Západní země, kam duše Egypťanů směřují ke svému milovanému.
