An ancient artifact was found in a mysterious part of North America called Maryland. Pharaoh-like figures once ruled this area, and recently, their tombs were uncovered. Much like their Egyptian cousins, they, too, were mummified in preparation for their journey through the afterlife. However, one such king, Ribbitankhamun, the Frog King, was recently discovered. And unfortunately, the mummy of this great king was stolen! The workers who discovered the tomb found this mysterious note.
