(At the beginning of the 3rd century BC, the Great Pyramid of Giza, or Pyramid of Khufu, remained a majestic structure on the Giza Plateau. Standing about 146 meters tall ), covered with white limestone casing, giving it a gleaming appearance. Despite natural wear, its grandeur was still striking.)

(The main entrance, located on the northern side, was accessed via a wide stone staircase. This staircase, part of the construction ramps, facilitated the transport of materials to different levels of the pyramid. Made of sturdy stone blocks, it had a gradual incline for easier access.)

(The pyramid was protected by a combination of physical and ritual measures. Guards, armed and stationed around the pyramid and its entrance, were tasked with preventing theft and maintaining security. They used spears and bows and were strategically placed to monitor and defend the site.)

(Ritual protection also played a crucial role. Amulets and magical symbols, made from materials like stone, metal, and glass, were placed inside and around the pyramid. These symbols, including the Eye of Horus and images of protective deities, were intended to safeguard the pyramid from evil forces and ensure its sanctity.)

(The pyramid is guarded not only on the entrance, but also inside)

(Together, these physical and ritual measures created a comprehensive system to protect the Pyramid of Khufu as a sacred and inviolable site.)

You wait at the base of the staircase, expecting your task. Your teacher, Kemtem, had instructed you to meet him at midday near the Pyramid of Khufu. It's past noon, and he still hasn't arrived. Finally, you see him running toward you, breathless and urgent.

"Glad you’re on time," he says, catching his breath "We need to enter Khufu's tomb discreetly. I have a plan, but it would be a good exercise for you to come up with your own. It’s a valuable opportunity."

He smirks, ready for the challenge.
