'Prince Smekhkana, a 3,000 year-old Egyptian mummy, awakes to a new life in modern Europe, and is amazed at the evidences he sees all round of progress in the mastery of the forces of nature. With his memories of an ancient civilisation, in which greed and cruelty and ruthless ambition had made life a hell on earth for the multitude, he fondly hopes that he has emerged into the Golden Age; but, alas, he soon finds that humanity's old vices have merely taken on new forms, and that man, though cleverer, is not better or happier.'
