The story begins in rural Egypt at the time of the French campaign. Meanwhile, in 2010, Hamed searches for the secret of Sultan Hamed and his mausoleums that fill the country. He finds an old manuscript in French, and expert Youssef Iskandar and tour guide Sarah help him decipher it.

Present-day Youssef reveals that the paper is a letter from a Frenchman named Clement, in which he talks about Sultan Hamed and his battle against the French campaign. In the past, the Sultan and his colleagues resist the Mamluks, who wanted the Egyptian peasants to confront the French.

In his letter, Clement talks about the success of Sultan Hamed and his companions in separating the Egyptian soldiers from the Mamluk army opposite of the French, the victory of the French over the Mamluks, and the change of the village's name to Château Neuf, which then became Shatanouf. At present, Hamed seeks to find the rest of the shrines and letters.

Luna and Frederic; the antiquities smugglers, come to Egypt in search of buried treasure alongside Massoud El Amrousi and find two.
