Pharaoh: I'm having the strangest sense of deja vu...or is it foresight? Priest! What say the others? Priest: The omens are not good, O Pharaoh. In 3,600 years, numerous members of the Egyptian royal houses will be reborn as citizens of a place called California! In the greater Los Angeles area alone, 1,752 people will claim to have once been Queen Nefertiti! Pharaoh: No! Can my family escape this curse? Priest: Yes! These people will be highly suggestible! You must leave no record of your rule! Pharaoh: Hear me, O subjects! To avoid being reborn in California, I command that the royal family and I be buried in an unmarked tomb! The Pharaoh Skippy Henderson never existed! Priest: So sayeth Skippy! 1620 B.C. - a true story.
