It's the year 1446 B.C.
and we're at a marketplace in Egypt.
Ordinarily, it would be crammed with people.
Merchants trading exotic goods, vendors haggling for bargains, and men, women and children browsing the stalls in wide eyed wonder.
But this morning, as we wander through the dusty streets in search of something to eat, there's no sign of the vibrant life it once boasted.
The place is deserted and a warm wind whistles through abandoned shops and houses.
The air is muggy and within a few minutes your hunger has turned to thirst.
You fantasize about immersing yourself for a few moments in the cool waters of the River Nile.
Except when you look over to where the Nile's meant to be, you don't see the river at all.
