The series finale of Long Night in Egypt. Amr is found delirious on the roadside outside Saqqara, blown from the pyramid when Unas' chariot rose to join the sun. Uncle Abasi and Aunt Rania search the pyramid and find only what was left behind: the book of maps. Kayla's backpack. No sign of anyone who entered. But the book of maps shows their fate. Kayla and Mo have become eternal attendants of Pharaoh Unas — transformed, bound to the ancient god who weighed their hearts and kept them. Not destro...

Mo's heart is on the scale. He is about to fail. And Kayla does something extraordinary — she asks Pharaoh Unas, the ancient and terrifying god-king who has been hunting them through the underworld, for the Eye of Horus. In Egyptian mythology, the Eye of Horus is among the most powerful symbols ever conceived — a talisman of protection, a source of divine power, a vessel of healing and destruction. Unas gives it to her. She forces it into Mo. The scale tips. He passes. But gaining the powers of ...

The weighing of the heart is one of the most powerful concepts in Egyptian mythology. In the Hall of Two Truths, Anubis places the heart of the dead on a scale against the feather of Ma'at — the feather of truth. A heart burdened by sin is heavier than the feather. It is devoured by Ammit, the hippo goddess, and the soul ceases to exist. A pure heart passes into eternity. Kayla, Mo, and Samira are brought before Anubis and Pharaoh Unas to be judged. Jordan is already there — dead, tortured, his ...

The glowing eye of Horus leads Kayla, Mo, and Samira into the Duat — the ancient Egyptian underworld. Their path takes them to a cave lake deep beneath the pyramid, where a funerary boat waits to carry them across dark water. Kayla recognizes it from the Book of the Dead. She knows what lives in the water. Apophis — the great serpent god of chaos, the enemy of Ra, the force that attacks the sun every night as it travels through the underworld — rises from the lake. The battle is real. The mythol...

Pharaoh Unas is not a typical ghost. His Pyramid Texts describe him as a hunter of gods who devours the divine to absorb their power — a being so ancient and so ravenous that the spells covering his tomb were designed to keep him contained as much as to protect him. Jordan has just urinated in the corner of that tomb. Episode 04 of Long Night in Egypt is the point of rupture. Unas appears in full, Jordan is consumed into the floor of the pyramid, and Pia is devoured by the Pharaoh's rage. What r...

The Pyramid of Unas at Saqqara has been standing since 2375 BCE. Its interior walls are covered in the Pyramid Texts — the oldest religious writings ever discovered, designed to protect the pharaoh Unas in the afterlife and to keep what's inside, inside. Samira has her father's stolen key. The group has had too much to drink. The plan is happening. They cross the desert to Saqqara, enter the pyramid, and descend into darkness. Behind them, the door closes — on its own, unprovoked, with no one ne...

Kayla is still sitting on her secret — the book glows, and she doesn't know why. Meanwhile, Uncle Abasi and Aunt Rania, Cairo archaeologists with access to the great ancient sites, welcome the group with a feast and the stories of the old gods: the Ennead, the nine deities at the center of ancient Egyptian theology, and the Pyramid of Unas — a monument so old it contains the earliest religious texts ever written. Samira is paying close attention. A plan is forming. After dinner, she takes the gr...

Four archaeology students from the University of Chicago arrive in Cairo for spring break — and before they've even landed, something is wrong.

Long Night in Egypt is an eight-part horror audio drama built on real Egyptian mythology — the Pyramid Texts and the Book of the Dead, the same sacred writings that lined the tomb o...
