1. Vault of the Heavens — College Students Enter the Pyramid of Unas and the Door Locks Behind Them
Long Night in EgyptShow Notes
Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt begins here — with the night a group of college students enters the Pyramid of Unas and cannot get back out.
They found the access point three weeks ago — an unmapped entrance on the pyramid's northern face that does not appear in any of the official archaeological records. Tonight they are going in. Their equipment is good. Their maps are thorough. Their plan is solid. And the door locks behind them before they have gone twenty feet into the tunnel.
The Pyramid of Unas, completed around 2350 BCE, contains the oldest known religious texts in the world — the Pyramid Texts, spells designed to protect the pharaoh's soul on its journey through the Duat, the Egyptian underworld. The students are about to discover that those texts were not merely decorative.
Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production.
