Egypt

Egypt is one of the leading countries on planet Earth.

## History

In ancient times Egypt was visited by two Thanagarian warriors named; Katar Hol and Shayera Thal or as they'd soon be named by native Egyptians; Osiris and Isis. Osiris and Isis would be worshiped as gods by the native Egyptians and be given gift after gift from them. Eventually Osiris and Isis would decide to accept them wanting to show that what they did really meant something to the warriors.

Osiris and Isis would eventually be informed by their home world that they would have to conquer Earth starting with Egypt. This was the command that made them question their home world more than any other had before hand.

Osiris and Isis would now know in their hearts that their home world was wrong and that each world deserved the chance to be distinct. Osiris and Isis would then leave their loyalty for their home world in the Sand and would begin ruling Egypt together as a married alliance.

### Fall of Osiris and Isis

Eventually one of Osiris' priests would begin to become jealous of him and his wife and would swear that he would become a true god among men. His name was; Hath-Set and now with knowledge of the dark arts he would plan a scheme to rule Egypt and leave Osiris and Isis in the ground below... forever.

Over time Osiris and Isis would fall less and less romantically in love and would eventually just become business partners who occasionally became interment. Because of this the pair would eventually start seeing other people romantically.

One night Isis was with Bashari-Horus; Osiris' second in command, when Hath-Set appeared, believing that Bashari was Osiris he would strike the two down and would curse them to fall in love only to watch each other die over and over again for eternity.

But after the deed was done Hath-Set would realize that it was not Osiris that he had struck down... it was Bashari. Now needing a patsy to cover his tracks, knowing that Osiris would hunt down the person responsible, he would chose a fellow priest named; Teth-Adam.

Believing that Teth-Adam was the one responsible, Osiris would lock him up, attached to an Obelisk 24/7. Now without his wife to guide him Osiris would become a much bitter person always demanding instead of requesting. Eventually Osiris would make an incredibly bad decision when he challenged the king of Africa himself; Lord Apopis.

Lord Apopis and Osiris would then go to war causing immense destruction during their battles. Whilst the battles were being held Teth-Adam would be chosen by; The Wizard to be his warrior, a being with a good, forgiving heart and who would hold his magical powers.

Teth-Adam would then be freed from the Obelisk which kept him tied down and would unleash his might upon it. Bringing forth lighting to strike it down to rubble. The newly renamed **Black Adam** would demand with his power that Apopis and Osiris would stop the battle and would allow peace to return.

They, both in fear of Black Adam's power, would agree to this. Black Adam would then inform Osiris of Hath-Set's dark arts knowledge and that he was the one behind Isis' death. Hath-Set, realizing that he would be strapped to an Obelisk for the rest of his life if caught by Osiris, would attack him with the same blade which took Bashari and Isis.

Osiris and Hath-Set would then enter battle; with each of them throwing blow after blow until eventually they would both die as Osiris would stab Hath-Set with the blade he used to kill Isis and Bashari and Hath-Set would impale Osiris with his very own scepter. With their dying breathes they would both declare vengeance on one another...

### Aftermath

Now with Egypt in ruins Black Adam would take the followers of Osiris and Isis and would build a massive city in their honor. Black Adam would name this city; Kahndaq and would declare himself the city's ruler and defender.

### Reign and fall of Pharaoh Anubis

With Egypt in need of a new Pharaoh a young sorcerer named Anubis would step up to take on the mantle. Anubis spent the majority of his life as Pharaoh attempting to live up to Osiris' and Isis' memories as they were beloved by the people of Egypt and thus this pressure would be the thing to break Anubis' sanity.

One day whilst experimenting with Dark Magic, Anubis would accidentally open up a portal to a pocket dimension which was inhabited by 1000s of monsters, warriors, ghosts and dragons which would rampage through Egypt. Eventually Anubis would create seven magical items to control the creatures' power. With the creatures now under his control Anubis would use them to destroy anyone who opposed him.

Eventually two priests became fed up with the way Anubis ran Egypt and together they would defeat him and take the Seven Items for themselves. The more pacifistic priest was then chosen to become the new Pharaoh and peace was brought to Egypt once again.

### Reign and fall of Pharaoh Atem

Whilst the more aggressive priest was happy that peace had come to Egypt he always felt jealous that the thanks went to the new Pharaoh and not to him. But he did not question the Pharaoh's will as he and his wife; **Kisara** were happy just living in a peaceful Egypt.

One day a group of bandits attacked the Pharaoh's Pyramids and stole the riches inside. When they exited the last Pyramid Kisara attempted to stop them only for them to kill her. Heartbroken by Kisara's death the now Head-Priest would hunt down the bandits and would discover that the reason why they had stolen from the Pyramids was because they needed to ensure the safety of a village by paying several servants of the Pharaoh who threatened to destroy it.

The Head-Priest would then summon the spirit of the **Blue Eyes White Dragon**; a creature with a deep spiritual connection to Kisara and one born in the Duel Monsters world. With the power of the Blue Eyes White Dragon the Head-Priest would kill the servants of the Pharaoh and would then demand that the bandits leave Egypt forever.

Now blaming his old friend; the Pharaoh himself, for the death of Kisara, the Head-Priest would demand that the Pharaoh would allow him to take over and that he would kneel before him. A vicious battle would then take place between the Blue Eyes White Dragon and the Pharaoh's; **Dark Magician**. This battle would accidentally awaken the power of the Shadow Realm; a world made of pure darkness and the one opposite to the Duel Monsters world.

Knowing that this power would destroy Egypt if he did not act fast, the Pharaoh would gather the seven Millennium Items and would use their power as long with his soul itself to summon the gods of the Duel Monsters spirit world. The gods would then destroy the power of the Shadow Realm and would then return to the Spirit World in peace.

Now regretting what had happened between him and his former friend the Head-Priest would place himself into exile and would never be heard from again. With Egypt now terrified by the strange powers of other realms, the Duel Monsters would return home as the Pharaoh's followers hid the Millennium items and placed the most trusted families to protect them.
