Synopsis:
Stanley and
Olivier are in Giza
discussing and arguing over the ancient past.
Stanley believes that it once
rained in Egypt to show such erosion patterns on the Sphinx, and
Olivier is dismissing his
claims. 4,000 years prior, Thor,
Balder, Sif,
and the Warriors Three
storm Nedra's castle in
the Menhir Mountains
because she has opened a portal to
Midgard, and such portals are forbidden by
Odin. They stop her, but Volstagg
accidentally falls through. Thor and
the Warriors Three
follow him through to try and rescue him, and find themselves in ancient
Egypt. They stop what they believe to be a
vicious taskmaster
from whipping his workers, and then meet
Neb-Maat the Pharaoh of the
time. Neb-Maat plans
to sacrifice them all to the Griffin.
During their battle, the Griffin
kills Neb-Maat, and
Thor eventually kills the
Griffin by causing a lightning
storm to strike it. Thor decides to
let it rain for a while, to refresh their crops and quench the thirst of
the slaves.
