00:03He smiled.
00:10What are you doing?
00:12And that's how the king of the dead world was buried alive.
00:15By his own brother.
00:16And the living men who helped him.
00:18Open it!
00:19Open the door!
00:23Open it!
00:24Open the door!
00:27Seal it!
00:33But how does a brother come to do this?
00:36To understand, we have to go back.
00:38Years before any of it.
00:40To the day they were born.
00:48The earth was a god named Geb.
00:51The sky was his wife, Nut.
00:53Together, they had four children.
00:59Osiris.
01:00The eldest.
01:01Isis.
01:03His sister.
01:04Set.
01:05His younger brother.
01:07Nephthys.
01:08The youngest.
01:09Watch!
01:13I'll jump first!
01:22Show off.
01:27Set was always his brother's opposite.
01:30His sisters, though, were never anything but close.
01:37How are you doing that?
01:39How are you doing that?
01:39Come try yourself.
01:42I don't know how.
01:48It's not hard.
01:51Just focus.
01:53And close your eyes.
01:57See how easy that was.
01:59I'll try.
02:07I did it!
02:12Whenever they returned to court,
02:14it was always Osiris people noticed first.
02:21Osiris married his sister, Isis.
02:25Set married the other, Nephthys.
02:36And because he was born first,
02:38Osiris became ruler of Egypt.
02:40The desert went to set.
02:46Osiris became ruler of Egypt.
02:47Same blood.
02:48Same gods.
02:49Same beginning.
02:51Only one of them had been born first.
02:53And that alone decided everything.
03:03But under Osiris, Egypt didn't just survive.
03:06It grew.
03:11It was Set's duty to protect this land.
03:15So he tried to build an army of his own.
03:18Soldiers made from sand.
03:34Every attempt fell apart before it ever stood.
03:40Damn it!
03:50Then one day,
03:52a merchant caravan passed along the border road.
03:55Two men talking as they walked beside their loaded donkeys.
04:02Osiris opened a new canal past the third village.
04:06Doubled the harvest already.
04:11They're writing songs about him now.
04:15No matter how hard he tried,
04:18he was never going to be seen.
04:22First to Kakabipul.
04:24One day,
04:25word reached Set
04:27that raiders were preparing to strike a caravan crossing his territory.
04:33Set counted his men.
04:34It wasn't enough.
04:37So he did the only thing that was enough.
05:01But the storm hadn't only destroyed the raiders.
05:04It had torn through the fields of nearby villages, too.
05:10What brings you all the way out here?
05:14Your storms are eating my fields.
05:17My storms are the reason your fields still have borders.
05:23Three villages buried under sand this season alone.
05:30Tell them raiders would have stripped their fields bare if I hadn't stopped them first.
05:38Warn me before the next one.
05:41I'll try.
05:47You're welcome, by the way.
05:50Years passed.
05:52Osiris visited Set's territory more than politics required,
05:55as if he had a special fondness for that land.
05:58Where are you off to now?
06:01Going to see Set's territory.
06:03And who runs Egypt while you're gone?
06:09You, obviously.
06:11Funny.
06:12I already do that when you're here, too.
06:22Welcome.
06:26Wine?
06:29What's the occasion?
06:31No occasion.
06:33Just wanted to see you both.
06:36Didn't expect you here this time of year.
06:39Came to see my brother.
06:41Anything wrong with that?
06:44Then let's go inside the palace.
06:51Everyone, get ready to move.
06:54Could be a few days this time.
06:57The border's been restless.
07:01Then take enough food for a few days.
07:04Not just one.
07:06Set always left for the Desert Patrol this same season.
07:09Every year.
07:12Osiris had been waiting for exactly this moment.
07:16Now it's just the two of us.
07:18Then let's make the most of this moment.
07:22While Set was still out in the Desert,
07:24Osiris and Nephthys found themselves alone.
07:28I wish I could always be with you.
07:31When I'm beside you,
07:33it's like I'm finally alive.
07:37Don't say things like that.
07:39It makes this harder to end.
07:43Who said anything about ending it?
07:49But the Patrol found nothing worth chasing,
07:52and Set turned back early.
08:15Set didn't wait to hear more.
08:16He didn't need to see more.
08:18He didn't smash it in rage.
08:20He simply unmade it.
08:22The same way he unmade everything now,
08:25quietly,
08:25without needing anyone to see.
08:34You're back early.
08:37Nothing worth chasing.
08:43What Set had seen didn't fade.
08:46It sat in him,
08:47and grew.
08:48His brother had taken his kingdom's fortune,
08:52his kingdom's love,
08:54and now this.
08:56Secretly,
08:57Set gathered 72 of Egypt's nobles for a meeting.
09:03My brother has taken everything
09:06that should have been mine to share.
09:08All I ask is your silence
09:11when the time comes.
09:13Some owed Set their positions.
09:16Others simply feared him
09:18more than they loved Osiris.
09:21Either way,
09:22he didn't need to convince them of hatred.
09:23He only needed their silence.
09:27But one obstacle stood in the way of his plan.
09:30So he sent Nephthys away.
09:35Why now?
09:36The feast is in three days.
09:39You said it yourself.
09:41The storms are drawing complaints.
09:47Someone needs to inspect the border shrines
09:49before the priests start blaming me for it.
09:52Send a priest.
09:56They trust you.
09:59Better than they trust me.
10:02Don't expect me back soon.
10:10I just got here.
10:12Where are you off to?
10:14Have to inspect the border shrines.
10:17To inspect the border shrines.
10:20Try to enjoy yourself while I'm gone.
10:23Take care of yourself on your journey.
10:36Glad you came for the feast.
10:38Go rest.
10:40The road must have worn you out.
10:42I'll take care of the preparations
10:44for my dear brother.
10:47Chill live.
10:49Go to him.
10:50Measure him while he sleeps.
10:55He must never know it was me who asked.
10:59Hand like magic.
11:00While his brother slept,
11:02something not quite human took his measure.
11:06Exact.
11:07To the width of a finger.
11:12Cedar for the body.
11:14Gold over every surface.
11:19Let no one see it before the feast.
11:29Bring the chest!
11:34What Set built wasn't just a trap.
11:37It was the most beautiful thing
11:39anyone in that hall had ever seen.
11:45It's a beautiful chest.
11:49It's really beautiful.
11:52Tonight, for my brother,
11:54let's have a little game.
11:56This chest is a gift
11:58for whoever fits inside perfectly.
12:02Shall I try it first?
12:05The game looked innocent.
12:16Stand aside.
12:18If it was made for anyone,
12:20it was made for a king.
12:23Well said, brother.
12:26Who else could it possibly fit
12:28if not a king?
12:32He smiled.
12:34He was still smiling
12:36when it touched his chest.
12:40What are you doing?
12:42Open it!
12:43Open the door!
12:47Open it!
12:49Open the door!
12:55No one behind him spoke.
12:57He didn't believe
12:59he had killed a brother.
13:01He believed he had corrected
13:02a mistake the gods made
13:03on the day they were born.
13:10You always said
13:12the Nile
13:13gives everyone
13:14what they deserve.
13:16He believed the river
13:17had taken his brother
13:19forever.
13:21He had no idea
13:22it was only the beginning.
13:26the water
13:26Gold,
