Ep. 03: When It Is Dark, When It Is Dark

The Pyramid of Unas at Saqqara has stood since 2375 BCE — and this Egyptian mythology horror audio drama is about to go inside it. Its interior walls are covered in the Pyramid Texts, the oldest religious writings ever discovered, designed to protect Pharaoh Unas in the afterlife and to keep what is inside, inside. Samira has her father's stolen key. The plan is happening. They cross the desert to Saqqara, enter the pyramid, and descend into darkness. Behind them, the door closes — on its own, with no one near it. Episode 03 of Long Night in Egypt is the point of no return. Written by Sarah Pitard. Directed by Jack Bowman. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. A Violet Hour Media production.
