Thousands of tons of sand lie in the desert! You can transform them into gold if you harness Astros right now!
In Search of Immortality
Pharaoh Haminitis dreamed of becoming immortal. He possessed everything: power, wealth, thousands of subjects, and a special status as the governor of the gods, yet what meaning did it hold if sooner or later he would turn to dust? The pharaoh sought the secret to immortality with relentless obsession!
The finest healers and scholars of Egypt gathered in the palace to aid their ruler in gaining mastery over the cursed old woman with the scythe, capable of shattering any plans. Having received instructions from Haminitis, they returned home, hoping to create an elixir, ointment, incense, or some other substance that would bestow immortality upon mankind.
An Unconventional Remedy
Alas, the brightest minds of Egypt met with failure. Even the ointment made from camel dung, in which Haminitis placed great faith, proved utterly ineffective.
Moreover, it emitted a foul odor—nobles and servants pinched their noses whenever the great pharaoh, stinking of this dubious concoction, came near them. Rumors circulated through the palace that the person who had created this ointment was not a healer at all but a shameless joker.
To Hell with You, Set!
Haminitis ventured into the temple of all gods, hoping they would accept him among their ranks and grant him immortality. Set was the first to hear his prayers and offered a great gift in exchange for the souls of his own children.
The pharaoh refused such an offer, wishing the lord of the underworld to descend to hell. Indeed, Set did precisely that upon realizing Haminitis would not surrender his children, concluding that no deal would be made and further negotiations were pointless.
A Sum Better Left Unknown
The pharaoh’s prayers reached Amun Ra as well. The sun god listened to Haminitis’s plea and laughed heartily. The lord of light explained to the fool how insane the notion of immortality was for an ordinary man. Such a state defied the laws of the universe.
Still, in jest, Amun Ra proposed a bargain: he promised to grant immortality if the pharaoh gathered a sufficient amount of gold. The great deity whispered the sum into the pharaoh’s ear to ensure no one overheard. Haminitis’s eyes nearly bulged from their sockets upon learning how much gold Amun Ra demanded…
Egyptian Gold Rush
From that moment on, the pharaoh scoured all of Egypt, hoping to collect as much gold as possible from his subjects. Taxes were accepted only in gold—no silver or copper!
After a few years, the pharaoh was the only person in Egypt still possessing gold coins. He stored them in a treasury specially constructed to hold the payment requested by Amun Ra for immortality.
When the gold coins ran out in Egypt, Haminitis ordered a recount. It turned out he had amassed merely a third of the required sum!
How to Turn Sand into Gold
The pharaoh pondered long over where to find more gold. Then one fine day, a sage approached him, declaring that he could assist the sovereign. The man presented Haminitis with the blueprints of Astros—a pyramid system that harnessed cosmic energy to convert ordinary sand into gold.
Exultant, the pharaoh immediately commanded the construction to begin, appointing the sage as overseer, who stood a strong chance of becoming the second most important person in the land. History remains silent on whether Haminitis attained immortality; nevertheless, Astros endures to this day. You can use it right now and create mountains of gold!
