Dagger of King Tutankhamun
Upon the arid desert soil
A poniard reposed in ancient toil,
Wielded by Pharaoh Tutankhamun,
A conundrum that doth yet remain undone.
The blade, a cryptic enigma untold,
Perchance a tool of martial strife,
Or emblem of a bygone tale old,
A narrative that's engulfed in time's life.
But still we seek and yearn to discover
The mysteries interred in the past,
To unravel what's been left asunder
And immortalize the dagger's cast.
So let us delve into the dunes
And unearth the commands of the pharaoh's runes.
