12/12/2012 - The Return (OOC cast call and info thread)

[PVodogaz]

It is the Year 2012, in the last month of that year. Many mystics and astrologers are looking forward to the date 12/12/12 as the end date of the Mayan calender. The Mayan Wheel of Time Prophecy states that on this day the Earth would end. What if the Mayans had not told the truth but this date heralded the return of the Ancient Egyptians and Mayans to Earth. What if the Pyramids of Egypt and Maya were infact waiting portals and landing sites for the ships of these races?

The Return is set in December 2012, where a group of tourists journey up the Nile from Juba in the new Republic of Madhi (formally known as the Sudan) to the Islamic Domain of Egypt. This is both a social, cultural and historical journey by a set of friends and strangers.

Character Brief

Milton Mueller

Date and Place of Birth: New Zealand, in the town of Hamilton (North Island) 12/12/ 1980

Physical Characteristics: Milton is 6f2 with a solid build from a life of working at Archaelogical digs in the Andes Mayan and Incan sites. He has pearly blue eyes and light blond to brownish hair. The only disparaging issue is Milton's battle with his lobile weight that goes from 90kg to 110kg. This is his constant battle.

Background: Milton has always been a ancient history buff and gradulated from Hindmarsh Aetoroa University in 2001 with a distinction Batchelor in Archaeology/Historical Theory. In April 2002 he joined the same university as a lecturer and did his first dig at the ruins of Itz Capal in Peru.

This exhilarated him and he began to discover links between the ancient Mayan and Egyptian Culture. Upon reading the Mayan Wheel of Time Prophecy which intrigued him, he formulated a plan to do a trip up the Nile for evidence of the linkage between Maya and Egypt.

What he found on his journey up the Nile would change his life and all people's lives forever.

It would make no sense to be afraid of the Egyptian or Myan cultures without them being more advanced than we are at current time, is it like a Stargate SG1 type of thing? If so I am totally in.
