Short Summary
A young woman is befriended by an Egyptian med student also on the dig. They find canopic jars in one of the tombs which contain the cells of an ancient king. The med student persuades her to allow him to implant some of the cells in her womb and she eventually gives birth to an ancient Pharaoh.
