Mike Arshur, a brilliant but emotionally distant Egyptologist, takes his son Adam on a long-overdue vacation in a remote desert resort. Haunted by the failure of his marriage and a strained relationship with his son, Mike sees the trip as a chance to reconnect. But their peaceful retreat turns into a nightmare when ancient beings rise from beneath the earth—the true Pharaohs, immortal gods who have lived for millions of years in a secret world beneath the surface.

Every 5,000 years, these subterranean gods emerge to harvest the souls of firstborn sons—rituals that fuel their power and reset human civilization. When Adam is marked for sacrifice, Mike must confront the very myths he’s studied his entire life. In a desperate attempt to save his child, he unlocks a hidden power tied to a cursed ritual, one that could either destroy him—or turn him into the Pharaohs' worst nightmare.

Blending ancient magic with advanced lost technology, The Father and the Pharaohs' Gods is a haunting journey through forgotten legends, inner demons, and a father’s ultimate sacrifice. As the line between science and sorcery blurs, Mike must face not only the gods of old—but the guilt and love that live deep within his own hollow heart.
