The Great Worm

It went by many names - Apep, the eternal snake, forever to eat its own tail for all time; Abaddon, the doom of all men; but it decreed it be known to mortals as Anek Sabé, Devourer of Souls, Rider of the Golden Eagle from the Heavens. Its craft - and its cargo - were discovered by the peoples of the Nile Valley some 5500 years before Christ, having crashed after an epic duel in the heavens above. Anek Sabé wrought both a terrible and enlightening legacy upon its human supplicants. Utterly alien in origin, it taught the simple folk of the country later to be known as Egypt ways in terrible warfare, grand mathematical accomplishments and the secrets of grand architecture, mirroring its own pyramidical starship. Whether it taught the peoples of Egypt all it had to know, or it had another mission to fulfil is unknown- but one day the great worm was gone, along with its awesome and terrifying spaceship. The history of the planet would never be the same. [keywords:Competition 2012 Topic Character (Collab)]
